This is Syndirella, an entry originally posted on January 19, 2003 in the blog nebulose.net. In chronological order, before this was Song of the Day. After this comes Updates Galore. If you're lost, I recommend the about page.

Syndirella

I am now using the amazing Syndirella to sit in my tray and automatically check all of the blogs in my Recommended section, and alert me when a new post is made.

I tell it a main site URL. If an RSS feed is present, it uses RSS autodiscovery to find it. If not, it configures a “screen scrape”, and makes a feed out of the page HTML (which hopefully is semi-consistent about which tags it uses for titles and which for other content). The result: I no longer have read any sites in my browser.

Oh, did I mention it’s all free and open-source?

Coming soon: an RSS feed of the comments on my site, so I can check for those automagically without having to actually visit the page and look.

How grueling is it to check the comments by coming here?
