Information Technology Reference
In-Depth Information
Information trapping on a large scale would be very diicult, if not down-
right impossible, if it weren't for RSS feeds. RSS feeds are a very easy and
convenient way to monitor information. hey make it possible to do date-
based searching and very speciic content tracking.
Even though I devoted an entire chapter to RSS technology in my book, I
still didn't have enough space to address the tools that are available to help
you take advantage of RSS.
his bonus chapter presents 12 useful RSS tools that run the gamut from
converting RSS feeds to images to capturing RSS feeds almost indeinitely.
he tools are organized into four categories: Web site tools, creation tools,
iltering tools, and miscellaneous tools.
You may not be able to work all of these tools into your information trap-
ping strategy, but just learning about them will hopefully provide a new
perspective on how you can use RSS.
Web Site Tools
Do you want to put the contents of an RSS Feed on your Web site, but you
don't want to have to learn programming? If this is the case, you have sev-
eral options that are no more complicated than illing out a form and copy-
ing and pasting some code.
