Friday June 25, 2004 RSS Aggregator - which one?
|
Time to start organising my reading of other peoples blogs and the interesting RSS feeds out there. Last night I was reading the RSS tutorial mentioned by M. Mortazavi. Lots of great stuff there, but it's very inconclusive of which tools to use. There is just an over-whelming number of aggregators out there. I've also been taking notes of the ones that have been mentioned on our internal bloggers list, such as HotSheet, NewsMonster, PinkPanther, RSSOwl, SnowNews, Straw and, Syndigator |
At the moment, I've no idea which one to pick, and I don't really have the time to do an exhaustive test of each one, so I thought I'd try a different approach. I'd specify what I'm looking for, and hopefully the folks reading this who have "been there, done that" can point me in the right direction.
Here's my criteria:
- It will run on Solaris (for work) and Windows or Mac (for home). I'd really only like to learn how to use one new tool, so this will probably narrow the search considerably.
- It's simple and intuitive to use. Easy to get the common things setup but having extra power and functionality "under the hood".
- It organises my choices in a straight forward manner so it's easy to find specific entries.
- For bonus points, it would be nice to have access to the source (preferably Java or C) so if there is that extra tweak that I'd like to do, then it's still possible.
Pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
