Can you give me an example of the blend/feeds you're looking at and getting non-compliant output from so I can check it out please? Right now, the target is actually not for developers at all - thus the focus on absolute simplicity. As I develop this further, I will be adding a lot more customization options (once accounts are available), including things like limiting the number of entries shown etc etc. As for an API, there is actually a simple version of one available now - as detailed on http://feedblendr.com/developers/#api Also - I didn't realize that a "crossdomain.xml" file was needed, but I checked it out and see what you mean, and it's now in place so please let me know if it works.

Also - I didn’t realize that a “crossdomain.xml” file was needed, but I checked it out and see what you mean, and it’s now in place so please let me know if it works.

I have worked on something similar for one of my projects, remixing feeds. I noticed, when I mix (blend?) two Media RSS feeds, the output feed is not really Media RSS feed. It contains "atom" module.. I don't expect it in output. I expect a proper RSS 2.0 feed with minimal dependencies (only known popular modules - media, itunes, dc etc). In my case, FeedBlendr renders to be unusable because of the given reason. I would like to see an intelligent system. I don't know who is your target users, but if you are targeting developers, you need to provide more flexibility (API, options to customize output feed?). Another point, I can't consume the (feedblendr) output in my Flash/Flex apps. You need to place crossdomain.xml on your server. -abdul I just heard about FeedBlendr today and checked it immediately.
