Yes I agree that we need better RSS creation tools, or rather more tools that support RSS as an output format.

Nice plug for Cellspin

While I agree with you on RSS feeds, I have a hard time managing them and creating them with my phone. As a result, I use CellSpin. Honestly, Cellspin is the easiest, FREE, and can do all 4 media types on the go. I love being able to post videos of my daughter while Iâ€™m in the supermarket with her. I was worried my phone was not supported but they have over 300 phones supported. Better yet, they support LJ, Flickr, Facebook, Myspace, and many other popular Web 2.0 companies. Last I knew, I couldn’t do that with my RSS feeds.

Hi Dave,

Long time and all that, but just thought I would extend the arm of support for this kind of thinking. As I am sure you remember Tom Heath and myself have long held the opinion that RSS was a lot more than just for news feed. Thats 6 years ago now.

Incredibly, I am due to give an introductory tutorial to the research staff in our school this Friday, no one even knows what it is!

Something I have started to play with a lot recently is Drupal. The support for RSS creation (as a transparent part of practically any kind of content creation process) is pretty comprehensive and probably worth a look – warning – the learning curve is pretty steep. The only thing I can suggest is temporarily forgetting everything you know about programming and think point and click.

Hope yer well, and Happy Birthday
Steve

I agree — it’s hard for me as a techie to see RSS as being complex enough that a simplified version is actually useful and not just hype. I think there’s some comfort in creating an account rather than a full blog…I have an unexplained assumption in my mind that I can keep up with an account, but that I’ll eventually abandon a blog.

David. … I still use RadioUserland, Manila, but I use them with MarsEdit. …

Anyway, I just downloaded your tool, installed it, and it seems to work fine. … Not really sure, but there seemed to be no errors and the page cme back with a trail.
