Is there a good introduction to those sorts of feeds anywhere?

I did set up some changes-in-a-given-area RSS feeds from ITOworld years 
ago (I'd explain what they are better, but while the feeds still work 
I've forgotten my login to go and get the tool's name :-D)

I'm wondering (and there are often hints, like Andy's comment above, 
that such tools exist) if there are better/more tools these days to:
  1) Keep an eye on all changes for a given geographic area
  2) Watch for all changesets that use a given tag (obviously that'd be 
too much of a firehose for some tags, but for others it'd help people 
keep an eye on particular sorts of edits)

Cheers,

Adrian.
