I want to see RSS feeds in action

[mattk]

Does anyone have any examples of sites that use interesting RSS feeds. Not really interested in blogs, much prefer vanilla sites that have a News section (or similar) that pulls stories using RSS.

Anyone got any good links?

We pull a couple of feeds in within our ebusiness news section.

Check it out. It's nice to see an interesting article every now and again when browing your own site!

Enigma - what do you use to display the RSS?

I'm just about to add this facility to a clients site, my programing partner has given me the php code to do this. I'm told php 5 handles it much better though.

I'll let you know how i get on

I have used RSS on several projects. Here for example is a local forum I run.

I use feeds from the local newspaper. This is done by using a ASP.NET control that is freely available. I have modified the code slightly to suite are purposes

We are using a JSP "tag library" from which supports RSS. These basically extend the JSP syntax, and allow you to access and manipulate RSS feeds as you see fit.
