Massimo,

Hmm. Latest version of Google Reader does what you suggest. I also
think I seen a subset as a Yahoo Pipes filter.

But the creation side as a news syndicate as a P2P is an intriguing
idea. I would even suggest getting money grubby with such an idea for
the simple fact that there are unaffiliated news stringers all over
the planet that would love to find a outlet for their video/articles.

Novel idea and commendable. Considering that US news is cratering we
are headed this way regardless.
