I'm looking for a way to create a brandable widget from my RSS feed which is brandable. My RSS feed itself is brandable: when users add their affiliate code at the end, the products in the feed will also carry their affiliate ID. I want to distribute a widget from my feed, but now I'm looking for a way to allow people to use their own branded RSS feed URL when they show the widget on their page. Any ideas?
A widget... Hmm, I would build it in Flash, have it loaded remotely via JS with the code in it. So, people could just include the snippet <script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoururl.com?affiliateid=1234"></script>, Then the JS that they included hits your page, embeds a flash element which will load the feed... or you could do it with any serverside language.
