RSS feeds are great web technology. Today almost every major website has an RSS feed and all service based websites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) empower feeds.
But how simple is it to use all these data sources? Every RSS feed is basically a data source that contains a title, description and probably an image. But is there any way to create a mash-up of all the data sources offered?
Some basics about these feeds is that the data sources are free and require an RSS feed reader to view the information. All modern browsers have built in readers. But to create a mash-up you will need to read this information and display it. There are scripts out on the web that gives allow you to use java-script and PHP to implement this.
But there are service providers that make life a lot easier.
