Feed Digest, A Great Way To Republish Feeds

by Scott Beale on September 28, 2007 · 0 comments

Feed Digest

Per Marshall Kirkpatrick’s suggestion, I’ve started using Feed Digest to republish squid.us and Squid List feeds on the left-hand sidebar of this blog, as well as adding the Laughing Squid feed to the Squid List sidebar. It’s really easy to setup and highly customizable. You can even combine multiple individual feeds into one digest.

Feed Digest is a parser, regenerator, and syndicator for, and of, RSS and Atom feeds. It lets you do things like:

put the content of RSS or Atom feeds on your own site(s), e.g.:
– get your del.icio.us / digg links on your site automatically
– get your Flickr links on your site automatically
– have automatically updating links to other blogs
– create news alerts and news digests

syndicate your blog’s content and/or links to other sites

mix multiple feeds together into a single feed (Atom and RSS)

convert RSS to Atom, and vice versa

filter RSS and Atom feeds

turn RSS and Atom feeds into a JavaScript include to use anywhere (even free Web space)

turn feed(s) into WAP pages for cellphone use

merge all blog mentions of your company onto a single page

have your local weather update on your page(s) automatically

merge RSS services with your Web site

Please read our Comment Guidelines before leaving a comment:

Moderation: Because of comment spam issues, all comments are manually approved, so if your comment is approved it may take a while for your comment to appear on this blog post.

Name & Website Required: Due to rampant abuse, we are no longer posting anonymous comments. Please list your real name and provide a link to your website. If you don't have a website, then use a link to your account on Twitter, Flickr or some other form of web presence. With very few exceptions, comments that do not refernce include an actual name or url will not be approved.

Also when we ask for your name we mean your actual name, not Discount Car Products or some other attempt at spam or lame SEO.

Be Civil: Irrelevant, obnoxious or abusive comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.

Gravatars: If you would like a Gravatar to show up with your comment? Just sign-up for an account and any comment with your email address will display your Gravatar.
