We require bids for the development of an RSS monitoring tool that will monitor RSS feeds for specific keywords. An example site that does something similar is [login to view URL], although we are wanting ours for a different reason. Basically, the system created will do the following: 1. Find RSS feeds from a few sources, including (but not limited to): [login to view URL] and pull these feeds into the database to monitor. This needs to be done automatically as a type of harvester 2. A front-end where we can enter keywords to monitor 3. A server-side RSS feed reader that will monitor each feed for keywords. This could be a LOT of feeds - maybe 100,000 or more feeds 4. If a keyword is found, the link is preserved in a database 5. A web-based interface where a person can read keyword matches We are looking for people who have worked with RSS feeds before, and who can demonstrate a capability to do the above. We will automatically ignore bids from anyone who does not demonstrate that they can do this, have done this before or have created a similar system. In the first instance please post your experience level and anything you feel would be useful for us to make a decision. If you need any clarrification please let us know thanks Ade
