No problem, if you live in a feed reader you'll love RSSmeme. You can have it generate feeds for custom searches/tags/authors/sources. I'm working on an API for it too.

Done; the next feeds that FeedDemon pulls in should say:

Shared by X people. Tagged taglink1 taglink2 taglink3

If you want anything else just let me know :)

StevenHodson API? or even XML URL :)

I was more than serious about being able to take services like FriendFeed and RSSMeme and put them into a desktop interface. For me that is were my big interest lies as a developer as not everyone wants to live in a browser but they should still be able to access their favorite information provider in anyway they want to.

That is one reason why I wrote TwitBox (and is going through a rewrite at this point).

And thanks for being willing to be as responsive as you are to your users :)

Ok, the RSS feed now has tag links next to the "Shared by X people" link. I also would like to mention that we have some AJAX on the site. You don't have to click to read a link, you can click the "read more" link and I load the entire details without making you click to a new page :)

Can you go into more detail about RSSmeme's tags? Are you saying that you'd like the RSS feed to have the tags in it (because I can have that done in seconds) or are you saying that you like the tags to be contained in the RSS feed entries tag attribute (because I already do that)?

Thanks for writing about RSSmeme!

StevenHodson If you can include the Tag Links as shown on the front page within the RSS feed that I pull into FeedDemon then Yes! (can I say that again YES). I might be out in the cold here but for me Tags are - or at least could be - one of the most powerful ideas to come out of this whole Web 2.0 thing (for the lack of better terminology). I also think is one RSSMeme best features.

If you have read anything I have posted in the past about Ideastreaming you'll understand why I think they are important.

You don't have to join them; some of them (mine) find you: http://www.rssmeme.com/ crawls the web looking for Google Reader link blogs. If you've joined one of them and are actively sharing then you'll eventually make it onto RSSmeme too.
