Feed on Feeds and Link Dumps
May 17th, 2004Last week, I asked Blake to set up Feed on Feeds on the LS domain. After my begging and pleading, he finally installed it yesterday, and I have been playing with it. I’ve always wanted a web-based aggregator on my own server that would update the feeds on an hourly basis and cache them. Feed on Feeds does all of that. It’s password protected, so only I have access to it, which is important. While Bloglines is amazing, I hate to be stuck using third-party software just in case it goes down, which Bloglines has on occasion, or if they are working on the software, which again, Bloglines does on occasion. Anyway, I’m migrating my feeds from Bloglines to Feed on Feeds (FOF) now (and purging during the process - a bit of spring cleaning) and will no doubt mention it again in the future. So far, I am very impressed.
Also, as I mentioned before, I am in the middle of a few projects that need to be finished by the end of May. I have been saving sites that I was hoping to mention here in more detail, but it looks like I’m going to have to do a link dump. I’ll hopefully get to that tomorrow. I’m saving most of what I see on my Del.icio.us feed (which is now displayed on the front page of LS, thanks Feedroll), so you may just want to subscribe to that. Most of what I save there will probably make it on the main LS blog with more annotations at some point.
