I had about an hour to mess with it´s feature before the connections began to fail. However, as far as I can tell it´s quite a powerful and interesting tool. I´m not really into programming, but I could easily manage to mashup some feeds and personalize some searches. That´s because of it´s intuitive gui. I mean you can create queries by virtually tying them to variables (I don´t know if this makes any sense to you, but I´m having trouble to describe it in English). In plain words: It´s amazing. So I can hardly wait for it to be running again. Think of what you can do with it combined with <a href="www.page2rss.com" rel="nofollow">www.page2rss.com</a> or something similar.
