RSSPECT is a new offering from Ryan North, allowing anybody on any site to serve up warm, savory feeds for their devoted readers. Its tagline is “Syndication made simple.” and it certainly seems to offer up the goods. Ryan, who previously released Oh No Robot, a free search engine service for webcomics, focuses his attention mainly on projects for the webcomics community. Even so, the products themselves are solid, and RSSPECT particularly is useful for any site that would like to offer RSS services.
With RSSPECT, all you have to do is add some markup tags to your website, and you can be syndicating your content instantly. There’s no fees, no programming, and no hassle. You don’t have to install any software, and you can create as many feeds as you want. We take the sucky parts out of RSS.
We’ll check your website automatically, and when there’s new content, it’ll be added to your RSS feed. You control what gets added to the feed and what doesn’t. And you can always log in to add, update, or delete posts by hand, if you want. You have complete control.
It doesn’t stop there. We give you the tools to publicize your feed automatically, and the code that allows your readers add your feed to their Google homepages, to their MSN accounts, to AOL, to Yahoo – the list goes on. We’ve done the hard work so you won’t have to.
