OK, here’s something. Publi.sh is a service to create RSS feeds. It is super easy and super cheap (free actually), but has some good features:
- Post new items on site, via the browser bookmarklet, or via email.
- Sweet WYSIWYG posting interface for rich text formatting (with a full screen mode)
- Supports time zones and future posting dates so you can publish items at certain (local) times. Use it to create a personal reminder feed.
- Supports enclosures so you can use it to create a podcast feed
- Post by email means you can use Publi.sh to turn a mailing list into an RSS feed
- Browser friendly styling with ‘one click subscription’ chicklets for the major news readers
- Feeds are disposable in the sense that if no one subscribes to them they’ll automatically get deleted after 14 days
It could do with some UI improvements, but it works pretty well. Love to know what you think…or, building on my last post, what you think it might be useful for.
