I've been thinking wouldn't it be great for us to create RSS feed 'reading lists' based on industry segments such as food, insurance, financial etc...

This is possible with OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML that allows these RSS feeds to be downloaded into feed aggregators such as bloglines.com. Here is the spec document on how to create these lists:http://feeds.scripting.com/powerOpmlGuidelines. We could put these reading lists together and then post them on our website to be downloaded into their feed aggregator.

I think this would be a great service to offer! It would be great for clients, prospects, media reps, editors and anyone interested in a particular segment. And NO, it wouldn't have to be all BLOGS. It would include RSS feeds from companies in the industry, trade journal web sites, and even traditional media web sites.

Absolutely! this would be a great service to people in the industry.

We could act as the feed librarian to help them cut through the clutter.
