e.g.

http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot
+
http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotGames

= http://feedblendr.com/subscribe/5441

In that current feed there’s two entries entitled “The Myth of the 40 Hour Game” which have the same body text, but have slightly different link urls, which I guess is the issue

I won't be offering any services (or at least not as a direct part of FeedBlendr) for creating a feed from a site which doesn't provide one; it's outside of what I'm trying to provide here, and there are other services out there that already appear to do a good job of it (FeedYes.com and Feed43.com for example). Pietro: Your first point is an interesting one, although I don't know if it really meshes with the idea of RSS generally being time-ordered. I could possibly include a custom (namespaced) element in the blended feed which showed a count of the number of times an entry existed in all source feeds, then you could do your own sorting upon output. The second point you make about an API is something that I'm working on already - it's only a matter of time. Marshall: Thanks for the kind words and pointers.

So, if I blend 25 feeds from delicious, and something appears in 20 of them, it should appear above things that only appear in, say 10. Also a big thing would be to organise an API so that it is possible to use the blender automatically. So when I write on my blog an entry with 10 tags, I could have on the sidebar automagically the blend of the rss feeds from my blog of the entries tagged with those tags. This summed with the previous suggestion of the order would make the tool really useful.

Have you seen Peter Cooper's FeedDigest.com ? It does a number of the things discussed above. I use it most often for the RSS to HTML function, but bandwidth has really seemed to be an issue. Your clean out the fridge approach sounds helpful. I wonder if you'd consider taking on the kind of feature that Wotzwot.com is struggling with - relatively high level scraping of feeds from sites that don't have their own. They've decided to employ a rediculous solution to the problem of innactive feeds - everyone has to plug in a new code every month to keep the feed active! Good luck with all this!
