RS3 - The RSS Aggregator Killer?. I've been trying to get the word out (specifically to Adam Curry) about a project I've created on SourceForge (link here), called RS3, that takes a set of RSS feeds, crawls and scrapes the _original_ article linked to in each feed item, summarizes that page, and then optionally converts that text summary to speech and a playlist. A set of ogg files is created from this which is wrapped up in an M3U playlist which can be copied to your favorite media player. So, in essence, you can have your RSS feeds actually read aloud to you through a podcast on any media player or PC.
