Feed43: scrape for feeds

Filed under: rss, tools

Feed43 converts a webpage into an RSS feed.

I was using FeedTier or Feedfire, but this new tool allows you to pick a section of a page
…this is handy as it will scrape only relevant stuff off the webpage.

Other choices are to use WebSite Watcher, this is a webpage monitoring service that not only notifies you by email but also RSS.

At the moment Feed43 is by invitation only, keep an eye on their blog.

One of their posts describes how to create a feed for search results in Technorati without having to sign up for a Watchlist.

This would be even more handy for searches within “blogs about…” as this type of search doesn’t generate a Watchlist…same goes with tag searches (and search within a tag if it will ever exist).

Anyway this may be another way to generate a Bloglines Citations feed.

Here is someones experience using Feed43.
