How to merge rss feeds?

March 12, 2007 12:50 PM

Trying to merge multiple blogs into one feed. Yahoo pipes strips out the author field-- any ideas?

Are there any other ways to merge multiple feeds into one feed or is there a way to get yahoo pipes to pass the author field to the final feed?

Or failing that, is there a way to convert json to RSS? The pipes json output has all the fields.

Do you have a server on which you can host the aggregated feeds? I've seen Planet Feed Reader (http://www.planetplanet.org/) used for a similar project in the past.

Perhaps try FeedBlendr?

RSSMix, or alternately SuprGlu.

Also, FeedDigest.

I've used Feedshake with good results.

I took all the photoblogs I subscribe to and threw them together into one feed, and it's worked like a charm.

Disclaimer: I own FeedDigest, and I still recommended FeedBlendr. The reason? I know FeedDigest won't maintain those author tags at this time ;-) (Of course, the other services might not either, but..)

It's hard to believe that nobody has mentioned Yahoo! Pipes yet; Here it is.
