If the requirement is to aggregate a set of RSS/Atom feeds into one, then there are several options: 1) Java web application: Roller's built-in Planet - Based on ROME feed parser - This probably more setup than you want to do. 2) Command line Java program: Planet Tool - Easy setup, just create a file that lists the feed URLs - Based on ROME feed parser, part of Blogapps (examples for my book) 3) Command line Python program: Planet or the newer Venus - Easy setup, just create a file that lists the feed URLs - Based on the Universal Feed Parser 4) Online service: Yahoo Pipes - Slick UI for combining and filtering feeds with rules and such I guess I would recommend Yahoo Pipes. It's the easiest approach by far. If it doesn't work out then try either Planet Tool if you're comfortable with Java or Venus if you're happier with Python. - Dave >> From: Richard Monson-Haefel <[email protected]> >> Date: February 4, 2009 11:31:16 AM PST >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: 97things and Amazon + page >> >> Hi Folks, >> >> The book will be back from the printer in the next two or three weeks and >> on the selves as fast as O'Reilly can get book sellers to stock it! >> >> Amazon.com has the Plus page where you can hook up a blog feed associated >> with a book.
