Feed Discoverer

News Radars (or RSS Mashups) are subject-specific RSS-based information channels. They allow aggregating the Web articles, news, blog and message board posts, press releases, bids, newsgroup threads, images, audio and video.

There are no limitations on the Radar’s subject. It can be as simple as “HDDVD” or a bit more complicated as “high-end HDVD” or as complicated as “HDVD or Blu-Ray” or even a bit weird as “HDVD - Toshiba”. The Radars can be used to monitor a best deal on eBay, to see how is your competitor doing, to keep track of your industry’s most recent trends, to observe how the Web is buzzing upon a new music album, blockbuster movie or cool gadget’s release or just look for new job positions in your area. The list of Radar applications is very long to mention all of them.

However, you may ask - “It is all sounds good and all but how can I create these Radars, should I understand RSS or look for feeds all across the Web. I have no time for it or don’t know how to do it”.

We realized that you may have those preservations and delivered Feed Discoverer - an online tool, which makes the Radars creation almost as easy as just a regular Web Search.

Feed Discoverer is a RSS feed meta-search engine. In order to retrieve most relevant feeds, it is using MSN/Live.com API. Because the feeds are created in different formats, the tool categorizes all the returned feeds under four different categories:

• Feedburner Feeds
• Feeds
• RSS Files
• XML Files

All you need to do is specify a keyword or key phrase, which represents your Radars’ subject, generate and preview the feeds, select those which you need, and then publish your Radar.

There are several advanced features – privacy, inclusion and exclusion filters.

The feeds can be also added to existing Radars created through Radar Wizard and/or Radar Admin tools.

The whole process will take no longer than several minutes.

The more detailed description of Radar generation/update is at Feed Discoverer Help.

The service is free and all you need to do is to register.
