Now you can generate RSS feeds to watch for specific item on Amazon. The Amazon Keword Watch tool asks for your location, product group, keywords, and sort type; then it generates an RSS feed for you to subscribe to. That's not all … you can also make a TinyURL right from the form. Nifty!

I just found this new tool called immedi.at. What does it do? It IMs you when new items are posted to RSS or Atom feeds you're monitoring. Personally, I don't need to be bombarded all day with messages about new posts & news … but maybe it's something you're interested in.

I was just reading on LISNews about RSS Submit Software. It's free, but you have to install it … so I'm wondering why I'd want to use this instead of pingoat or Ping-O-Matic which are online and don't require an install?

Can you tell that I have just started reading some of these feeds? Yesterday I had over 3000 posts to read … today I'm down to 1500 (no I didn't read them all). Once I catch up on all of the great blogs out there my daily posting will probably dwindle to … well let's [...]

I mentioned the listing of Electonic Journals with RSS a couple of days ago … and today I found the Cambridge Journals Online list with more Electonic Journals.

On our Intranet at work, I use a PHP class (lastRSS) to read RSS feeds and publish them for our staff … but this script only works for RSS feeds, so I frequently use this handy Atom2RSS tool from 2RSS.
