Here's another RSS search:

http://www.blogdigger.com

Plus these other two already posted:
http://www.feedster.com
http://www.daypop.com

I like using the search engines' results more than just using a single feed.

Without much research, you can take a feed URL such as:

http://www.blogdigger.com/rss.jsp?queryString=PIES&sortby=rel&days=30

And easily just change the keyword to:
http://www.blogdigger.com/rss.jsp?queryString=CAKES&sortby=rel&days=30

-OR-
http://www.blogdigger.com/rss.jsp?queryString=ICE+CREAM&sortby=rel&days=30

Here's the base URL's for these three RSS feed engines:

http://www.blogdigger.com/rss.jsp?queryString=keywords&sortby=rel&days=30

http://www.feedster.com/rss.php?q=keywords&sort=&ie=UTF-8&limit=15

http://www.daypop.com/search?q=keywords&s=1&c=15&ext=true&t=a&o=rss

Note: Just change "keywords" to your words. There are other variables you can mess with, but this will cover the basics.


If you add three or four feeds from each of the above (for different, relative keywords), plus throw in a few Google News feeds, and maybe a little Ebay, you'll have a lot of content to mix and match.

Let's say you come up with 20 feeds, 4 each from Ebay, Google, Daypop, Feedster and BlogDigger...

That's 80 feeds total, each displaying up to 15 feeds each.

80
x 15
-----
1200 total headlines that will mix and match.

Think about a deck of cards that has 52 cards and how many different hands there are.

You can have many different "pairs of aces":

Acehearts/Acediamomds
Acehearts/AceClubs
Acehearts/AceSpades

Acediamomds/AceClubs
Acediamomds/AceSpades

AceClubs/AceSpades

That doesn't even count that each of the four aces has 48 other cards to be "paired" with.

And that's only the two card combos....

Now think about how many unique "hands" our deck of 1200 cards has?

With 1200 unique headlines, you could easily have enough "unique" content for 100 pages, at 12 headlines per page, while never repeating a single headline.

But since we are randomizing the results, in theory we could go much, much higher than 100 pages, and each page uses the EXACT SAME Bomb SSI tags, yet will appear unique.

But we can also randomize the number of feeds on each page. Some pages have 5 feeds, others have 25 feeds and most in the middle.

Then factor in that these feeds are "fluid" and are ever-updating. If you had a couple of hundred pages, by the time the last pages were indexed, a great deal of the content of each headline will have changed (replaced is more accurate), as compared to the feeds on the first pages indexed.
