>Should I run a script every few minutes to check the feeds for new entries?

Yves: Only if you want to be hunted down by a bunch of irritated server admins 
for abusing their bandwidth. :)

In general, you don't want to poll a given feed more than once an hour. If you 
must poll more frequently, you should HEAD each feed before doing a full GET... 
that way you can check the headers to see if anything has changed before 
requesting a feed full of redundant items.
