New Server

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

We have successfully migrated FreeMyFeed to a new dedicated server. Some of you may have experienced some downtime during the migration but all functionality has been restored.

Now that we have moved to a new server version 1.1 will be released soon. Before the release, a list of the new features that made it into the application will be posted here.

Keep an eye out!

Exciting Features Coming Soon

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

We have been working hard on the next version of FreeMyFeed. We haven’t decided on the version number this will land on due to the large number of new features. Within the next several weeks the new version will be pushed into production.

A small list of new features:

  • Feed validation using SimplePie to provide more accurate validation and mime type detection.
  • Feed auto location for finding a feed when the parent URL was provided and not the actual feed URL.
  • Error reporting via the feed so that you will be notified in your feed reader if there is a problem with your feed.
  • Subscription URL to recommend that people use FreeMyFeed to subscribe to your protected feed.

In addition to the features listed above an FAQ is slated for the next release.

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.
