Does anyone know a way to gather a bunch of information from a web page (like Excel does) to display it right into a widget or anything easy readable on the desktop?

Example : http://www.fear.fm/radio/program/the-z/77/session/662 The goal is to take the tracklist and display it elsewhere, preferably on the desktop.

Like a RSS reader or XML? – ngen Feb 3 '11 at 17:49
This sort of depends on the website and the information you want, and what format it's in. Can you be more specific, especially if it's an EXISTING website rather than you're-thinking-about-making-one? – Shinrai Feb 3 '11 at 18:08
@ngen Kinda, but the pages i'm talking about does not provide any feed like those... – J4cK Feb 3 '11 at 18:09
Can you provide an example website? – ngen Feb 3 '11 at 18:12
@Shinrai The page exists, but the other issue is that the page I want the infos from is always different. But that's another story. – J4cK Feb 3 '11 at 18:12

I forgot this great Adobe Air "widget" which provides a simple way to do what I want without bothering with text and stuff. It's called Snippage. Thanks for the help anyway !

Oh wow, this is really neat. So basically it's just pulling the site and only rendering the part you want? I like it. – Shinrai Feb 3 '11 at 19:28

Great if you're building from the ground up and money and servers aren't an issue – Shinrai Feb 3 '11 at 18:13
