Feedity – Create an RSS Feed From Any Page
If your site wasn’t built in the last couple of years there is a good chance you may not have RSS feeds available for your readers. In fact, you may be thinking you can wait until your next rebuild to add in those feeds. The problem is that your fans and customers are expecting you to have this now. Web users are becoming accustomed to clicking the orange button in the address bar and adding your news to their favorite reader program within seconds.
Feedity is a new company that is looking to help companies bridge the gap between having a dynamically-generated feed and those static sites that don’t have the technical capabilities. The app takes just a few steps to get it running. First you enter the URL for the site you would like a feed for. Then it isolates areas of the page that you may want to collect data from. Depending on your level of service with Feedity you may have access to additional features, such as date and time, that you can add to the feed. Finally, you tell Feedity to build your feed, giving you immediate access to a custom feed for your page or site.
Plans for basic users are free and slowly go up from there with four additional pricing options starting at $3.25 per month. As you go up the pricing ladder, one of the main features to change is the frequency of the updates. The business pricing tier checks for feed updates every 30 minutes while the free plan only checks every five hours.
3 Reasons You Might Need Feedity:
- You have a static site that gets updated at least once a month and does not currently provide a feed.
- You frequently check a competitors site that does not have a feed and you want to keep up and be notified when they update pages.
- You have a site that provides RSS feeds for your news but not for a second type of content, such as products.
3 Reasons You Wouldn’t Need Feedity:
- You already have an RSS feed on your personal or corporate site.
- All of the sites you frequently access also have RSS feeds available.
- You don’t want to sit through ads to keep up with competitor sites and don’t want to spend even the minimal $3.25 monthly fee.
