Ideas
Drip an RSS feed at a specified frequency

The Idea
A service. You feed in an RSS feed and specify a number of posts per given time period. e.g. you give it a URL for a feed and then specify that you want "1" item from it per "day". It gives you a new feed URL. It will take the items from the old feed and give them to you sequentially at the specified frequency.
I thought of this idea when I was...
Scenario 1: UNESCO has an RSS feed with all of their World Heritage sites on it. One bloody giant feed for all the hundreds of world heritage sites. It's rarely updated. It's an unmanageable size. But with a service like this you could create a "World Heritage Site of the Week" feed and look at it in Google Reader.
Scenario 2: I use a lot of the web 2.0 music services. Last.fm. CBCRadio3.com. imeem.com. On several of these services I have a favorite songs list. And a feed for that list. With a service like I describe I could take one of those 'favorite songs' RSS feeds and easily turn it into a "My Song of the Day" list that I could distribute to my friends for them to listen to as an audio podcast.
