Timothy Appnel: For fun and kicks I banged out a quick script that converts the data from [Macromedia's DevCon] SOAP Web service to an RSS feed every 15 minutes. My feed can be found here. It even validates. Bing!

A bit earlier this year, blo.gs added support "for services like weblogs.com and blo.gs to share their data in real-time". Perhaps if the participants were open to feedback, we could come up with a solution where no one organization controls the information. It seems that blo.gs already has an extendedPing API with support for both the url of the weblog and the rss feed. And a changes.xml which includes the rss information.
