I have recently been involved with the development of BladeCaster. BladeCaster is a web scraping tool which tidies content using Dave Raggets Html Tidy and then allows users to create custom XPath statements to extract the text from web pages and RSS feeds.

BladeCaster was originally born from the need to capture web content, and re-present it for mobile devices such as mobile phones or the Sony reader when disconnected.

It's currently in the alpha stages at the moment, if you're interested, why not head over to the BladeCaster homepage, where you can download a free copy to play with.
