That's what RSS and Atom do. They're standard formats that let you slurp
entries out of any web site that's structured as a set of articles.

I wish AT&T had done this with their attworldnet.com domain. I had a customer
at her wits end over the change to att.net because every user name she could

frustrated at what AT&T had done to her.
