Feldman, syndicated newspaper columnist, online publisher, author, mother, wife and Net surfer supreme (not listed in order of importance, of course).

1) using RSS as a personal tool to read headlines and newsletters
2) or, on publishing RSS feeds, either via a blogging tool or manually

Today, with the publication of a brand new website, I am venturing into using RSS as a syndication tool. Not as the syndicator (i.e. the original publisher of the information) but as the syndicatee. In other words, today I ventured into the world of publishing OPC: Other People's Content.

The site I created is Newsletter Advertising. It is a domain I have owned for many years. I purchased it in the heyday of ezine advertising. In the last few years, however, it simply redirected to this blog. Today it is a standalone site with daily fresh content that I do not write. The content is a collection of RSS feeds on the topic of newsletter advertising, publishing, email marketing, and RSS syndication.

How did I do it? Thanks to a tip from David Lawrence, I am using CaRP Evolution to integrate a variety of feeds and filter them on a selection of keywords.

What do you think?

Oh, and although CaRP does do Amazon book links, I did not take the time to learn how to do this because I already know how to use Cusimano's Associate Engine.

I write about just that at http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/03/12/rss_scripting.html

You can also read quite a bit more about my (ahem) shell scripting exploits in my book "Wicked Cool Shell Scripts", which you can learn more about at http://www.intuitive.com/wicked/
