RSS Feeds in iSilo?

Agrajag · 03-22-2004, 03:06 AM

Forgive the novice question but I've not bothered with RSS feeds and have not been able to access InfoWorld for about a year now. I just checked in with them and now all their content is available via RSS feeds (at least all the content I want). Can I get iSilo to read this? If so, how?

iSilo doesn't support RSS as such, but you can use web-based RSS agregators like the one at Server.com (http://server.com/WebApps/NewsApp/) which you can then grab with iSiloX.

It's not the most elegant solution, especially as the links may not be optimised for mobile viewing, but it works.

Bloglines (excellent web-based RSS aggregator) has a mobile version (http://www.bloglines.com/mobile) but it's designed more for connected (eg wireless) PDAs than for iSilo use.

I have suggested to them that they should support iSilo for offline reading. They liked the idea and were going to add it to the to-do list. I mentioned also the issues with read vs. unread articles - downloading all your unread articles to iSilo should not (IMHO) result in these articles being marked as read on the server. YOpinionMV of course...
