Use RSS Mixer to Create a Unified Feed from Your Microblogs
2007-08-03 23:06:00
RSS Mixer is an online tool for combining different RSS feeds into a single feed. I wondered what RSS feeds would I like to combine and immediately realized that using it to unify my microblog feeds would be a great way to start. After further examination, I found that it could be used to combine the feeds from Twitter, Pownce, and Jaiku. Since all of these microblogs were created as a way for you to keep others updated on what you are up to, unifying them makes perfect since. That way, no matter which service you are using at the time, anyone who subscribes to the unified feed will be kept updated on what you are up to. To create a unified theme for your Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce accounts, follow these steps:1. Go to RSS Mixer.2. Title your unified feed in the Title Your Mix textbox.3. Now we need to start entering the feeds that are to be combined. You will need to open a new tab (or window) in your browser because we’ll be doing some copying and pasting back to the RSS Mix
