Anyone checked out this new concept RSS tool called rssense (http://www.rssense.com)? Instead of us searching for a RSS feed to parse, RSSense 'senses' what kind of feed is required for the website by based on the site's content, keyword matching and other methods like meta tags etc to determine what the site is all about. More or less like an AI code to figure out what kind of info site provides and its functionality. Based in this it'll provide us the RSS Feed - we dont have to search for it. Check it out !
Nice tool for new web masters They also list the sites and the XML feed urls - so you could just grab it yourself. Wonder if they will generate some $$$ from the content? If you are looking for a basic RSS feed for a PHP site we use the following code (out there on the net for free some where) I think this version ahs been tweaked but it works well : http://lastrss.webdot.cz/ We also found this version which pulls info from MSN based on keywords ( and used the above code ) RSSInjector - A program for reading a keyword-based search engine RSS feed Copyright (C) 2005 Volatile Graphix, Inc. Hope that helps Eddie
RSSense is different because it is a hosted RSS Feed provider - it is easier to use and doesn't require installation of code onto your server. It also lets you add your own feeds to the RSSense database.
Thats the whole idea - you dont need to add - it'll add it for you. Something like AI but not exactly. It'll pull RSS Feeds based on your site's content, keywords etc and figure out what RSS should be added to your site. You can also have the other way round - 'push' an RSS file from your site to another's - using RSSense automatically - not manually.
Anyone able to get this working? and if so on Vbulletin? I'm running into trouble, I insert the php code into my templates but it doesn't seem to run. I'm wondering if it can't find the .php file.
