You can already do this using pubsub.com:

   http://www.pubsub.com/

Several months ago I created a feed for all blog postings that mention both
"ruby" and "rails", you can subscribe to it here:

  http://rss.pubsub.com/17/67/5c1e317c0e8002f1942d5f0bc8.xml

Even this simple filter is surprisingly effective. I get a few false hits,
but not many (usually someone's girl friend, Ruby, falls against a
railing -- or something like that).
