The RSS-Feed is automatically updated, too.
Perhaps I think in a different direction.

Another way is something like this:

You'll need something on the other account to parse the RSS file amigo...

Take a look at this excellent tool...
http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/

Here is a technical article on how to parse RSS with php:

And lastly, how to use Magpie:

So, you just point it at the file that Exponential provides, and you're done. It's actually really easy (20-30 minutes, maybe two hours if you have to struggle through it I should think, but YMMV).
