    This is an archive of the PowerBlog blogging desktop software application. PowerBlog is no longer supported as of 2005 and stopped working when incompatibilities came with .NET Framework v2 and Internet Explorer (which was used for WYSIWYG HTML editing). PowerBlog was a powerful and intuitive Windows desktop blogging application. One could post blog entries to an XML-RPC/Blogger API host, FTP host, or other host. It was extensible using .NET assemblies or by using VBScript/JScript scripts. It had an Outlook-style article browsing interface. PowerBlog's closest competitor was w.Bloggar until Microsoft Live Writer was released, which made PowerBlog an irrelevant product.

    RSS Event Manager

    Allows you to submit events to an RSS feed via rest api (http post)

    This tool was originally written to replace the massive amounts of email sent out by automated build scripts. Once this tool is deployed to a server, your scripts can simply use a HTTP Post to submit events, and users can subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates, instead of receiving an email for each event. It is trivial to add a new feed, and using http to submit events means that firewalls are (usually) not a concern.

Open Source RSS Software Guide

Open source RSS software (also known variously as news readers, feed readers, or simply "RSS" for short) is a type of software that allows users to view content from various websites in one convenient location. The software uses an RSS feed—essentially an XML file containing data about the website’s news items, blog posts, videos, images and other media updates—to aggregate all these different sources of information into one spot. This makes it easy for people to check for updates from several sources at once, without having to visit each site individually.

One major advantage of open source RSS software is that it can be freely modified and redistributed by anyone who has access to the original code. Unlike proprietary solutions which limit user customization and control over the product, open source RSS solutions allow users to modify the code in any way they need in order to meet their own specific needs. In addition, there are often no license cost associated with open source solutions meaning that cost savings can be made compared to purchasing commercial solutions.

There are several popular open source RSS software packages available on the market today including FeedReader (Windows), Liferea (Linux), Vienna (Mac OS X) and Tiny Tiny RSS (web-based). Each solution provides its own unique set of features but all aim to provide a simple yet powerful tool for staying up-to-date with your favorite websites and blogs. Some key features common among most solutions include: subscribing/unsubscribing from feeds; sorting/organizing feeds by topics or tags; adding/removing filters; full-text search capabilities; support for notifications when new items appear in subscribed feeds; ability to share items between multiple users; browser integration; publishing tools allowing you to export feed contents in different formats such as HTML or Atom/XML etc.

Open source RSS clients may not always have as many bells and whistles as a paid version does but if you only need basic functionality then they make a great choice for keeping up-to-date with what's happening across multiple sites at once.

Features Provided by Open Source RSS Software

  • Article Aggregation: Open source RSS software allows users to quickly and easily aggregate articles from multiple sources into one feed. This eliminates the need for manual collection of news updates from various sites, saving time and energy that can be better spent elsewhere.
  • Customizable Feeds: Many open source RSS programs provide users with customizable feeds, allowing them to tailor their feed to their specific interests or needs. This allows readers to have a personalized experience that is tailored especially for them.
  • Filtering Capabilities: With some open source RSS software, users are able to filter out content they deem irrelevant or undesirable in their feeds. By setting up certain criteria such as keywords, topics of interest, authors, etc., unnecessary content can be eliminated from the feed for an even more personalized experience.
  • Scheduled Delivery: Some open source RSS programs offer scheduled delivery options so that readers will receive notifications when new content is available on their chosen topics at predetermined times throughout the day. This feature not only helps keep readers updated with timely information but also helps conserve resources by preventing unnecessary data transfer whenever possible.
  • User Profiles: Open source RSS software usually provides each reader with a profile page where they can track the progress of their reading habits over time and make necessary adjustments accordingly. Through this feature, readers can keep themselves organized and stay focused on what matters most to them in terms of reading material.

Different Types of Open Source RSS Software

  • Blog Software: Blog software is the most common type of RSS software. It allows users to create, manage, and publish their own blog content through an RSS feed.
  • News Aggregators: News aggregator software collects news from a variety of sources and presents them in a single interface for easy browsing. This type of software usually includes support for various syndication formats like RSS, Atom, and RDF.
  • Content Management Systems (CMS): Content management systems are used to create web applications with dynamic content such as blogs, forums, e-commerce platforms, etc. They provide developers with an easy way to create custom websites using HTML tags and templates while also allowing them to integrate their applications with a wide range of third-party services via plugins or APIs. Most CMS provide some form of built-in RSS support so that users can receive updates about changes on the website via RSS feeds.
  • Email Marketing Tools: Email marketing tools allow marketers to easily automate emails based on user preferences and specific conditions (on signup, abandoned carts etc.). These tools usually have built-in support for importing data from standard RSS or Atom feeds which makes it easier for email marketers to keep track of news related to their niche/industry without having to manually look up each article individually.
  • Forum Software: Forum software is used by businesses and other organizations looking set up discussion boards on their websites using traditional bulletin board technology. An important part of any forum software package includes its ability to export topics as an RSS feed which makes it easier for members who subscribe get notified whenever new threads are posted or updated without having check back every day manually going through old posts.

This provides an effective way to add new features and quickly identify problems before they can become major issues.
  5. Scalability: Allowing developers to scale up quickly by building upon existing code gives many businesses the freedom to rapidly grow operations as needed. It also provides an opportunity for organizations dealing with large datasets or high traffic volumes the ability use powerful server architectures at no extra cost other than hardware acquisition expenses.

By setting up automated feeds on popular topics, they can easily publish articles without having to manually check each one. Additionally, they can use the technology to distribute their content across multiple platforms at once—saving time and effort in the process.
  • Journalists: Open source RSS makes it easy for journalists to stay up-to-date with trending topics so they can quickly deliver news on current events or breaking stories without missing a beat. With powerful filtering capabilities built into many of these types of programs, journalists have control over what type of information is relevant to them (i.e.: local news sources) and can narrow down results accordingly so they don’t miss out on important stories or reports.
  • Bloggers: For bloggers looking for ways to keep readers coming back for more, open source RSS software makes it easier than ever before since users are already alerted when new content is posted—eliminating the need for users to constantly check websites themselves in order to stay informed about new blog posts or updated articles related to topics that interest them.

How To Get Started With Open Source RSS Software

Getting started with open source RSS software is a great way to aggregate news, content, and other information from multiple sources in one convenient place. The first step is to find the right software for your needs. A quick online search should yield plenty of results, so you'll want to narrow it down based on what's important to you.

Once you've settled on a program that works best for you, it's time to install and configure it. This process will vary depending on the type of software you've chosen as well as the platform or device that you're using. It's always a good idea to read through any available documentation before beginning installation, since different programs have unique requirements and instructions.

Once installed and configured according to the instructions provided by your chosen program, it's time to start adding feeds. Each source usually has an RSS link associated with them - this is typically indicated by an orange button or icon with curved diagonal lines - which you can simply copy and paste into your software after selecting “add feed” from within its menus. Some programs also offer auto-discovery features which allow you to add several feeds at once from a single website address.

That's about all there is too it. With RSS readers being readily available across multiple platforms; there are usually plenty of options out there if one particular piece of software isn't quite right for you either. All that's left now is finding and adding those popular websites or publications that interest users the most – happy hunting.
