Bud Gibson has a nice profile of FeedDigest, an RSS remix service created by Peter Cooper that I’ve had my eye on for a while. FeedDigest lets users “mix, filter and republish or syndicate feeds to HTML, JavaScript, WAP or PHP, or to a new feed.” Personally all I’ve used it for so far is to publish my linkblog feed to Read/WriteWeb. I think there’s a lot of unrealised potential in the RSS remixing/mash-up area – and maybe FeedDigest will be the one to lead that market. Time will tell. In the meantime, Bud wrote about FeedDigest:
“Though nothing has been announced publicly, certain of the blog posts suggest that outside investment was secured in the second-half of August. Ten thousand users is a benchmark that Silicon Valley VCs often cite for seed investment.”
The first post that Bud linked to was on the FeedDigest blog and says “a major announcement” is imminent. In a follow-up post, Peter says there will be “a new architecture in the next week or two.” On the FeedDigest homepage it says new stats features are on the way, plus podcasting and email services.
Sounds great, can’t wait to see the new version.
