If you are tracking any feeds through a feed reader or through our Feed My Inbox service, congrats on being hip to this great technology. Ready to take it to the next level?
There is a host of really fantastic tools out there that can help you manipulate, combine and filter any feed to your liking. Here are a few of our favorites:
The concept behind ChimpFeedr is very simple. It allows you to take any number of feeds and combine them into one simple feed. Easy as pie, so you could technically subscribe to ALL of your feeds and get one daily email from Feed My Inbox if you so choose.
Feed Rinse is a tool that lets you filter your feeds by keyword, author, tag, and MORE, so that you only get the results you are interested in. You can even upload an OPML file of all your feeds and start filtering away. It is very efficient and easy to use!
Yahoo! Pipes gets more advanced with their feature set and capabilities. Their service will let you combine, sort, filter and even translate feeds. For instance, you can take an eBay feed and filter it by price and other criteria using pipes so that you only get results that fit your specifications. They make lots of their pipes public so you can browse for ideas.
With Dapper, feeds are only the beginning, and they get into some pretty amazing ways of tracking content on a web page. Their pitch is that you can create a feed from any website. However, this is the most complicated service, so it will take longer to learn how to use it. Instead of trying to explain the wide variety of feeds you can create using dapper, I would encourage you to watch the video demo.
We hope these services are very helpful to you in making the most of your feeds!
