EUFeeds -- 300 European Newspapers by RSS

EUFeeds is a special-purpose RSS aggregator for European newspapers that provides access to more than 300 papers from the European Union. Provided by the European Journalism Centre in the Netherlands, this site lets you quickly browse the print media from each EU member nation.

The site defaults to UK newspapers; there is no apparent way to set a different country as your default entry page. It also does not provide an RSS feed for the aggregated content -- so you cannot subscribe to the aggregated Czech Republic news, only visit it on a web page.

RSS... On Your TiVo

According to a recent press release,

TiVo users can subscribe to and watch a broad range of video content available through Real Simple Syndication (“RSS”) feeds, including everything from network nightly newscasts and The Sesame Street Podcast to Daily Headlines from MTV News and College Humor from CHTV."

The catch -- there's always a catch -- is that you need Tivo Desktop Plus on your Windows PC (sorry, Mac users) to get the material from your PC to your TiVo. So I won't be testing it any time soon. This marks another move forward in getting Internet podcast content onto the family room TV, though it's not as easy as it could be.
