A while ago I made a yahoo pipe to do this, also. It is at http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=OnPtOis63BGrI5nZjUnRlg Its sources are different, and it allows a technorati API key to be provided, so that you can use technorati’s tag API. It puts the source in the body instead of the title. I haven’t looked carefully to see other differences between mine and engtech’s

Do you already know Tara Calishain’s Kebberfegg? It generates RSS-Feeds for any given tag, but it doesn’t blend them into one single feed.

In respect to Technorati’s tag feeds: At the moment they don’t seem to work right, but try this workaround: http://feeds.technorati.com/posts/tag/—–test

Another tag-feeding blog search engine is Blogdigger, try http://blogdigger.com/search?type=rss&q=subject:test

@engtech: Great construction!

@Jon: Reading your blogs and columns since many years, I’m really glad to contribute the first time to a question! :-)

I’ve updated the RSS titles to show the source, but it revealed an interesting problem: each service is using a different publish date timezone. :)

Helpful tips here, thanks Jon and engtech. I’m looking at ways (and tools) to do this too for Local Signal which aims to combine tagspaces for cities (as well as other searches and apis that aren’t tag based), so that I can offer universal feeds.

I’ll second the thought that Technorati’s tag search feeds (now just search feeds) have definitely been going through some change/trouble in the past few weeks. Not sure what’s going on there.

I agree that preserving the source feed is nice. It’s one of the things I really dislike about OriginalSignal’s combined feeds, I can’t easily tell where the post is from.

As for other tag feeds that I’ve found:
metafilter
ask metafilter
platial
43things/43places/43people
