  • FeedDemon for iPhone / iTouch

    With FeedDemon now free, I wanted to see if i could get my feeds on my iTouch iPod to read at the gym. Apparently the mobile link is http://m.newsgator.com and it will auto-detect to see if you have an iPhone or iTouch. I’m agreeing with Nick - great interface even with my hundreds of RSS feeds, plus they already have their custom homepage Web Apps icon which looks slick.

  • Arial Balkan notes today that he is using Joost de Valk’s Wordpress RSS Footer plugin, which is what i’ve been using since i restarted my blog. Scrapers use to bother me, but less now. Getting used to it, especially after I added “Copyright © 2007 - David Bisset (davidbisset.com) ID#DAVIDBISSET1701″ at the end of each feed which allows me to easily track via a google search where the scrapers are (in case you were wondering, if you are reading this in your RSS reader). Arial uses a link back, and he questions it - I had the same questions myself. On the safe side for now, I stick with a copyright. How many real human beings are reading the scrapers I wonder?

    This is a way to get an RSS feed from your Gmail account. PHP. Haven’t tried it yet, but no doubt useful.

  • SimplePie is a code library, written in PHP, intended to make it easy for people to manage RSS and Atom feeds. Seems to intergrate with CakePHP and CodeIgniter, and there’s even a Wordpress plugin. Here’s a little more on the CodeIgniter intergration.

  • Wordpress Atom/RSS Aggregator

    FeedWordPress “syndicates content from newsfeeds that you choose into your WordPress webblog”. I wanted to import my feeds from another blog of mine, and this might do the trick.
