Big in Japan: Providing Social Media Solutions

FrankenFeed™ is an open source application written using Ruby on Rails. We built this application to merge multiple RSS or ATOM feeds (xml) into a single master feed. The idea is to allow a power RSS or ATOM user to manage a single feed for a novice RSS or ATOM user. For example, your boss can read RSS feeds in his email client, but he has not idea how to add new feeds much less delete old ones. You can use FrankenFeed to add new feeds to his master feed or delete old feeds once they are no longer useful.

We have released the FrankenFeed code using the GNU General Public License. Feel free to download the code, customize and/or incorporate it into your own application or website. If you improve the code please remember to upload your changes to the SVN.

FrankenFeed can help you manage large numbers of RSS feeds. We created the tool in early 2006 and served thousands of users. We no longer host a public version of FrankenFeed, but we do provide the source code free of charge. Big in Japan can help you incorporate the code into your application or website or you can download the code and do so yourself.
