Thanks for the fast reply Haylie. The widget looks good, though it doesn't handle what I need. I specifically want to capture the data in the database, modifying it slightly along the way. The plugin uses the data straight, purely to display it in a sidebar, which is a different need.
I can, and may have to use Yahoo Pipes to transform the feed so it's formatted the way I'd like, but my hope is to find a service less likely to be shuttered.
