So my pet project which is part of an even bigger project is called Feed2me. Feed2Me takes an RSS feed from a blog, news site, or where ever and gives you a few more options of what to do with it other than just reading it.
Feed2Me is a piece of software which will create alternative ways for users to view blog content:
- RSS to Audio – This conversion simply creates an audio stream of the post, so you can sit back an listen to the post instead of having to sit and read intently.
- RSS to WAV – This conversion creates mp3 files which are saved for the user to download so that they can listen to the posts whenever they desire, no matter if its later today in an mp3 player or three weeks from now.
- RSS to PDF – This conversion allows a user to convert an RSS Feed to .PDF format and saves the files to a directory for them to retreive. This can come in handy if you want to back up your posts, or if you know you want to take the content with you to an offline location.
Look for more updates soon on this piece of software!

Hi Matt,
I think it’s wonderful that you’re creating something like this.
However, I would appreciate it if you would please refer to your PDF conversion function using a more original name.
RSS2PDF has been online for almost a year now at http://rss2pdf.com and I really don’t think it’s fair for you to copy the name like that, so I’m asking you nicely to please choose a different name.
Thank you,

Matt,
Sounds like a great set of tools.
Take a quick peek at http://www.rss2.co.uk, which is something I’ve been working on, related to taking multiple RSS feeds and converting them into a branded PDF.
