>From what I hear, Scroogle or others, despite the fact that they use proxies,
are services to be frowned upon by Google. Some say that linking to Scoogle
might awake the wrath of Google's algorithms.
I currently use a service that converts Google results page (not Google News)
into RSS feeds and one that gives me weather forecast RSS feeds, originally
from the BBC. Both involve what is known as scraping. It drains computer
power and bandwidth without attributing the content to the original source.
Do not aggravate the service providers. This becomes ever more conspicuous
if you use such a service in a public site where the use of scraping is
audience-facing.
