RSS Mix..in the mix

Filed under: General, rss, newsmaster, tools

Stop the press! …well this news is a bit old now, RSS Mix is a new tool that mixes feeds to make a compilation feed.

Previous tools were Feedmarker and Blogdigger groups…but the RSS mix feature in these 2 tools were just an aspect of these systems. What I mean is that Feedmarker is an RSS reader and social bookmarking tool, RSS mixing is just part of its package…and Blogdigger groups primary function is an automated RSS reader with a searchable archive.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for a nifty tool to perform this quick and easy function. Once you have made your feed you can also generate code to syndicate the content on a web page, you know that old RSS to Java thing.
I like the idea of an RSS Mix seeming like a workbench where you can manipulate feeds to your liking.

The next suitable feature would be to generate a search RSS feed of one feed (even though you can do this at Blogdigger, it would be good to do all your manipulation at the one workbench - although I don’t know all the processes behind this sort of thing.)

Another rival to RSS manipulation is RSS-Digest, apparently version 3 is coming soon.

Thanks for the links Library Stuff and Web-logged.

  1. Yes, indeed. These are basic features in RSS Digest 3. I can’t wait to get it launched! :)
