Watching Google without RSS

Reading this article (which has some interesting quotes by Dave Winer), I visited Watching Google Like a Hawk to see if it was worth syndicating and read this:

"Aggregated, edited and posted by real, live humans and hawks. No bots or RSS feeds were used and no hawks were harmed."

Obviously a jab at Google News (even though GN doesn't use RSS at all). Oh well, into Watch That Page it goes.
