Did people see Tim Bray's piece "Report from the Intel Community"? (That's Intelligence, as in national security, not Intel the company).
A couple of quotes:
These guys are buying into RSS big-time. Like anyone who delivers information, they deliver a lot of it using Web technology, and a lot of their information is dynamic, and professional effectiveness for many people depends on soaking up a lot of it quickly without investing too much time.
...
They’ve also done something way cool with their Google appliance; one of the bright geeks there has set up a thing where you can subscribe to a search and get an RSS feed. Well, duh. Anyone could fix up one of those using the Google API, I wonder why Google isn’t supporting this already?
