This is quite similar to one that I wrote. Like you, I used regex instead of parsing XML. The only additional things my version does are:
1. manip the time so as to show the interval since the previous message; and
2. save everything to a log file.

The one bit of recommendation I'd make is that you don't need to re-instantiate the UserAgent object each time through the loop. One will do for the lifetime of the process. In fact, the same is true for the Request object as well.
