connect RSS Viewer web part

you would expect that connecting the RSS Viewer web part to a filter web part is very straightforward. however, when you simply add both web parts to a page, set up the RSS Viewer web part connection to "Get Feed Parameter from" the query string filter web part, it doesn't work...

what you need to do is simply have the RSS feed URL to be without parameters and to change the Filter name value on the query string filter web part to match the expected parameter name on the RSS feed URL.

see for more details my post in this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsocialcomputing/thread/588ff314-d4e6-4ea2-857b-f50c4c7deed9
