I've read What XML generators are currently available on PerlMonks? page especially the "User Nodes" part. You can get your own latest discussions via ?node_id=32704&foruser=<monk_id> but it's not RSS. "newest nodes xml generator" seems to have RSS support with "&xmlstyle=rss" is it possible to get that RSS output for "user nodes info xml generator"? i.e.: to ease sharing on the web like FriendFeed/Blogs/etc perhaps?

Update: I wrote a custom PM->RSS converter after jettero's response below: http://gist.github.com/109072

    I couldn't find a way to get what I wanted in a way that friendfeed wouldn't hammer every 16 seconds -- and it's impolite to search perlmonks very often...

    ... but I wanted to be able to show my perlmonks stuff on friendfeed and the like ... so I wrote this thingy

      Hmm... not sure how FF refreshes the services but only Twitter updates seem to appear real time AFAICT. I'll check your code thanks :)
      I wrote this today: http://gist.github.com/109072. That's a cgi app, unlike yours. Creates a RSS cache file from PM site and refreshes that cache after two hours.
