Combine Multiple RSS Feeds into One

Note: Due to the high costs of hosting these types of services online, a lot of these providers referenced below have either gone away or are doing paid type of solutions, there is one however that is still available for free that I found, www.rssmix.com

I ran across some cool tools today that allow you to mix together multiple RSS feeds into one feed.  This is particularly handy if you want to aggregate multiple feeds into one place on your website.  In wordpress this can free up a lot of space in your sidebar!

Here are 10 tools that I ran across, would love to know if there are any other ones out there, if so, please be sure to post a comment to let me know…

1. RSS Mixer –Just enter the multiple RSS feed URLs and title for the resultant feed and click on Mix it button. You will get RSS feed mixed up of all the individual RSS feeds. You can use resultant RSS feed in number of formats like: Apple Dashboard Widget, Web Widget to embed in a webpage, an iPhone formatted version of your mix etc.

2. FeedBlendr –Very easy to use online service for blending or combining of multiple feed. Enter the URLs of feeds that you want to combine and Click on ‘Blend Your Feed’ button. No Registration or download is required to blend feeds. You get output in the form of: RSS/Atom output, HTML link, (.m) link, OPML output and Javascript code. Read More about FeedBlendr…

3. FeedTwister – It allows you to mix your favorite feeds and show their latest posts on your website.Create as many lists of feeds as you want and add up to 50 feeds per list. You can also assign an image to each feed and order posts by date or title. Limit the posts shown and establish a posts per source maximum.

4. BlogSieve –It is a free web-based tool that creates new feeds by filtering, merging and sorting existing feeds. The BlogSieve engine accepts virtually every (valid) feed format, processed results are then exported into any feed format you choose.

5. RSSMesh –The rssMesh.php script allows you to produce an RSS feed by taking the latest items from multiple feeds. The RSSmesh configuration is controlled by a configuration file for each feed to be produced.

6. RSS Mix – Mix any number of RSS feeds into one unique new feed. Mix up any feed of your choice using easy web based interface. To create a new RSS Mix, copy and paste the URLs of the existing source feeds into the box below and hit Create.

7. BlastFeed –It is an on-line service that lets you aggregate, remix and filter RSS feeds. And Blastfeed can immediately notify you of any results of such filtering. Blastfeed will only collect items that match your criteria in each feed. The results will be amalgamated into a single file and sent to you by email, Instant Messaging or as a new RSS feed, when and where you want it.

8. Feed Combine – As the name suggests, it allows you to combine feeds in a seamless manner. It your instant mashed-up feed using Feed Combine.

9. FrankenFeed –It is an open source application written using Ruby on Rails. This application can 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.

10. Yahoo Pipes – Saving best for the last. Problem with these online feed blenders is – they come and go. Yahoo Pipes is the most stable option for simple reason, it is from YAHOO! It can be bit confusing for a newbie, however once you get hold of things – it works like charm.
