Friday, January 25, 2002I'd like to be able to filter out those items in RSS feeds that interest me so I don't have to read through pages of chaff to find the odd grain of wheat.

This is a Manila site. It's on a machine remote to my Radio server. My desktop Radio server is running as an RSS aggregator. I've primed it with channels that interest me. A search term is entered via a simple form on the public Manila site and passed over the Internet to my Radio server via XML-RPC. Radio then returns all those RSS items from all subscribed feeds that match my search keyword.
The result? A filtered RSS feed that collapses thousands of items down to a few more likely to be of interest to me.
This uses a number of Radio's key features. RSS aggregator, XML-RPC server, desktop web site and scripting environment.
That's how I cope with RSS overload.
I'm happy.
