Feel the need... the need for feeds!
Agglodex is a great tool for bringing all the stuff you do online together in one place. One of the hallmarks of this 2.0 web has been the feed. Whether it is RSS, Atom, JSON, or XML any web-app worth it’s salt produces them whenever the user contributes content. They started as tools for news sites, but gained popularity among bloggers. They allowed users to subscribe to and syndicate each other’s blog posts. Now every site from Flickr, to Google Calendar has a feed for whatever you do. Agglodex lets you bring every single one of those feeds together in one place.
But where to start? You probably have feeds you don’t even know about. Think of all those illigetamate feeds out there, sitting idle on their web servers, begging to be subscribed to, desperate for attention. And what about things that don’t have feeds? There’s a lot of places you wouldn’t even think to find feeds, but once you start collecting them, it’s kinda addictive. Suddenly everything you do has to have a feed, has to be reusable.
In the coming days you’ll find here tips on how to get ahold of all your feeds in Agglodex. We’ll cover all the major sites out there, and maybe even introduce you to some new ones. For example If you subscribe to this feed in Google Reader along with all the other things you want to keep up with, whenever I share a tip that you’d like your friends to read, you can use Google Reader’s share feature to add the story to your shared items feed. This feed can tell Agglodex a lot about your interests because the content comes from a variety of sources.
