Google and Bing aren't doing right by me. All I'm finding are crappy SEO optimized sites. As you might surmise, there's a lot of web scraping and natural language processing in my near future, but I need a corpus of decent RSS feeds to start scraping.

What I'm looking for is a way to collect several thousand decent economic and financial news RSS feeds for my startup, Newsley.com.

Aside from gathering these by hand, has anyone found a great directory of RSS feeds? (If you have a list of a whole lot of economic and financial feeds in your Google Reader account, export the list, email it to me. I'll buy you beer or your beverage of choice. )

Alternatively, I'd love to hear a brainstorm or suggestions on where to find collections of RSS feeds. or ways in which a bunch of RSS feeds could be gathered.

Suggestions?
