Mashing up feeds using Blogdigger
Yesterday I wrote about splicing a hundred local blogs together using Blogdigger Groups. But it also occurs to me that Blogdigger can be used to splice together any RSS feed, not just blogs. So you can splice together 2, 3, or 100 podcasts. You could splice together the feed from all the TODO comments in your source code with the latest Slashdot headlines. You could splice together Flickr photos of chocolate with photos of peanut butter. The mashup possibilities are endless.

Forgive my ignorance, Jon, but is this at all different from an RSS aggregator that the public can view?

Hi Darius - I guess the difference would be that the posts are all mashed together: posts are arranged by date rather than by feed.

this here can also be used to splice/merge feeds together: http://feedjumbler.com

Thanks lazytom for the pointer. There's a similar service called rssmix that is making the rounds of the web.

Actually I like FeedJumbler better than rssmix because it shows Flickr photos properly.
