Hi Frank,
I am using Moreover.Com with WDDX. Here's is how I am doing it. Basically
I use CFHTTP to get the WDDX feed and then deserialize it. I have the added
twist of caching the data into an application variable to save download
time. This expires daily:
<!--- Check to see if its time to "update" the current list of
articles. --->
<CFIF ISDEFINED("application.articles_expire") is false OR
datecompare(application.articles_expire, now()) GT 0>
<!--- Use CFHTTP to populate a variable with the WDDX feed. --->
<CFHTTP method="get"
URL =
"http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?index_digitaltelevision+wddx"
resolveurl = 1
throwonerror = Yes
columns="title">
<!--- This variable contains the cached newsfeed. This was suggested on
CFTALK. --->
<CFSET Application.cached_articles_from_newsfeed="#cfhttp.FileContent#">
<!--- This variable holds the current expiration time. --->
<CFSET application.articles_expire=dateadd("d","1", now())>
</cfif>
<!--- Use WDDX to deserialize the query held in my variable --->
<CFWDDX input="#Application.cached_articles_from_newsfeed#" output="mynews"
action="WDDX2CFML">
<p>
<!--- Output the articles.... --->
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="155"
bgcolor="ffffff">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<font face="<CFOUTPUT>#Application.Heading_Font_Face#</CFOUTPUT>"
size="<CFOUTPUT>#Application.Heading_Font_size2#</CFOUTPUT>"
color="<CFOUTPUT>#Application.Heading_Font_color#</CFOUTPUT>"><b>Digital TV
News</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="130">
<CFOUTPUT query="mynews" maxrows="5">
<tr bgcolor="ffffff">
<td><font face="#Application.BodyText_Font_face#"
size="#Application.sidebarText_Font_Size#"
color="#Application.BodyText_Font_Color#"><a
href="#url#">#headline_text#</a> (Source: #Source#, #harvest_time#)</td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>

I'm looking for info on using WDDX tag to pull Moreover news feeds.
Their site offers a CF feed but no info on implementing it.
Thanks
