I can't believe nobody has included a link to 30boxes' excellent tool that does this without knowing Yahoo Pipes. I don't work for them or anything, I just love their services.

This is my first attempt at Pipes, so this sample isn't finished.

@Tim: The RSS link is still at the bottom of my page, maybe they're supporting it again?

BUT.

Requires username and password. Couldn't figure how to add that in pipes, unfortunately.
