Feed Sweep: Create widgets for showing feeds on website

Posted: 07 Dec 2009 08:55 AM PST

Feed Sweep

When designing a website or a blog, you might need to show some feeds from another website. This is quite relevant if you have two blogs and want to show feeds from one to the other.

Feed Sweep is a website which allows the user to register and create customized widgets for showing feeds from other websites. It creates a code of the customized widget which you can insert into your homepage for the feeds to show up.

About Feed Sweep

Feed Sweep has various plans and most of them are paid. The free plan comes with some advertisements. I was curious to know if these advertisements would be intrusive but was surprised pleasantly that they were text based and pretty similar to Google Ads.
In the Free plan I could add upto 5 feeds to show up. I could customize the format and color of the widget. Once done with it, I got to see an example of how the widget would look along with the HTML code which I had to enter in my website (see image below).
The customizing part is pretty good. It includes defining the width in pixels of the Feed. It also allows you to choose the number of feeds that will be posted on the widget. A customizable title is also allowed. When you get the code it is in JavaScript.

How to share very large files for free? [upto 2GB]

Posted: 06 Dec 2009 10:39 PM PST

I had to share some home movies and pictures and the total space it cornered was 1GB. It can be quite a tedious task to upload these files to a file sharing webs service. Most times such websites require registering and subscribing which obviously means spending money.

We Transfer info is a website which offers all that and also helps you to share the file with someone using their email address.

We Trasnfer Service

We Transfer info is a free service and you can add files upto 2GB
There is no need to register or signup. The files are not out in the open, they are stored and privacy is maintained thanks to the email addresses you provide.
The files are deleted after 2 weeks. So its a bit like parking your files. This means that this service is not ideal for backup of some files you might want to save online. It is suitable only for sharing of files as they are deleted after 2 weeks.

Go ahead and try out We Transfer info and let me know what you think about it through your comments.
