We Have Liftoff

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Since officially releasing FreeMyFeed on April 14th the service has really begun to take off with the help of http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/ and Lifehacker.

Since all of the publicity beginning on April 17th from the aforementioned sites as well as many others, FreeMyFeed has been used to free over 800 feeds and has served up these feeds over 7000 times in under 4 days.

Enjoy the service and pass it on to everyone you can think of.

Coming Soon

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Free My Feed is coming soon.

What is Free My Feed you may ask. Free My Feed is a web service designed to give you the capability of subscribing to authenticated feeds in a web based feed reader such as Google Reader or Bloglines.

Until now most if not all web based feed readers could not offer their users the ability to subscribe to feeds that required username/password authentication. This was left to the application based feed readers. Using Free My Feed a user can enter a RSS URL, username and password and be given an alternate URL that they can use in a web based feed reader, or an application based feed reader, that will enable them to subscribe to the feed without having to enter their username or password.

‘Subscribe to’ buttons have been added to make it easy when adding this new URL to your favorite feed reader such as Google Reader, Bloglines, My Yahoo!, and many more.

Free My Feed is at the moment unofficially live and can be found at http://freemyfeed.com/

The official launch date will be posted soon.
