I can use quantmod to get historical data and close-to-realtime quotes for stocks. I can also use quantmod to get financials data from Google. Are there any existing R packages that would let me grab Google's news feed for a given stock?
If not, is there a package for reading and parsing RSS feeds in R?
I wrote my own function to do this, using XML and xts. I posted it as a question on SO, because I think it could be improved.
