Hacked together in 2004 a web tool for inserting dynamic content from RSS feeds into web page with JavaScript, once thriving at Feed2JS.org
I have more things to write about than old web stuff few care about, but since this was something that started 20 years ago as some of my first blog posts… I can say for sure today that my long running Feed2JS service is no longer functioning. Death has been declared a few times before, […]
I’ve done my fair share of railing against entities that destroy web sites, be it Wikispaces, Storify, Google… today is my turn to be the reaper. As far as I can tell, Feed2JS my long running web service that enabled ordinary humans to insert dynamic RSS feed content into web pages, is kaput. I’ve been […]
It’s become a regular internet FOL (Fact of Life) that web sites, both information ones and web tools, seem to have a shorter and shorter shelf life. There was some good go arounds recently on those things that people wrote their own thoughts on before just tossing threads into twitter… I think they were called […]
Yesterday I put up the tombstone for Feed2JS, on its life support after 10 years. But like any good zombie, I just cannot kill it, it rose from the grave, and shall continue to provide free RSS content in your web sites, for FREE!

The dirt goes in the hole by May 30, 2013 (the end date of softlayer’s billing cycle)… the Feed2JS server will be cancelled on May 28, and the lights go out. For some time, the domain will be pointed at an information site on wordpress.con, and a small “nag” notice is now appended to all […]

cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Bert Werk Cut to the chase- unless something drops from the sky, the lights on my RSS feed service Feed2JS will turn off by June 1, 2013. Between now and then I will get the word out, attach a small alert on feeds fed, offering […]
It still is going, almost 10 years since fiddling with some PHP script that converted RSS to javascript (and not even sure if proper credit was given to David Carter-Tod who’s earlier Wytheville News service inspired me) – Feed2JS is still motoring along, made available for free and wide open for making RSS content as […]
cc licensed ( BY ND ) flickr photo shared by h.koppdelaney I have great news to share- given the generosity of people who have donated financial support, and one anonymous donor in particular, I have sufficient funds to keep Feed2JS running at least through June 2013, and maybe longer. For those not following this untrending […]
cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) flickr photo shared by howvin I have gotten an impressive stream of support, donations with my request to help support Feed2JS, enough to keep the site up and running (which apparently has been stable). But I’ve not been comfortable depending on a future path of donation support, although […]
