My friend Tuomas informed me today that he developed a sort of RSS feed that you can have on your instant messenger. The service takes the rss feed of BBC news and publish them to the subscribed user.
If you have a gtalk account in your IM client, like kopete, pidgin or similar you will receive a chat message with the headline everytime there’s new news, also (for me, using kopete, not sure about other IM clients) you can scroll from headline to headline with the previews and next buttons.
This is the official anouncement on PubSub mailing list: http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/pubsub/2009-April/000187.html
If you haven’t checked his web page yet, give it a look, you can always find some cool stuf: http://www.lobstermonster.org/
