I have wanted an application running at home which monitors an RSS feed I can control. Then at work I could add download links to that feed and have the files ready for me later.

I have a really unique idea. Maybe you should give a brief comment about what RSS is?
Posted by: Dan | Thursday, June 22, 2006 at 12:57 PM
It would help if you started at the beginning. Or, are you just infatuated with the technology?

FeedChain RSS Marketing /Adsense advertising script developed by San Francisco-based Studio DotBeyond.com aggregates/combines/mixes topic-filtered RSS feed and displays resulting feed on the page as html. Built-in self-optimization functionality analizes content of the page, generates keyword cloud and matching metatags. This creates perfect environment for displaying Adsense ads on any topic. Even most expensive keywords show up without any problems.
Another important functionality of FeedChain script is link creation. It could be used to link specific keywords to resources that someone is trying to promote, or to earn money by affiliation. FeedChain script is in "peace" with Adsense TOS because it is NOT a senseless link farm - each page provides a valid resource that is a combination of Google, Yahoo, MSN search feeds. Check out FeedChain Live Demo and 2 min Video demo/tutorial. FeedChain is extremely easy to use: the script doesn't require mySQL db, and could be installed almost everywhere. Deployment of additional resource pages couldn't be easier: just rename and upload renamed file, that doesn't need to be opened. Script uses smartie templating system that could be easily modified in Dreamweaver. Obtaining this script at the moment is a bit confusing: you'll have to create a free account Studio DotBeyond.com website, then pay for subscription that will enable your access to downloads. Check out DotBeyond's testimonials, or ask actual owners that could be found at
DigitalPoint forums.
