Sun, 22 January 2006 ![]() What's up for RSS feeds in 2006? That's what I wanted to know, so I contacted Peter Cooper of www.feeddigest.com. I've been a fan of his RSS-focused, web-based tools for almost a year now. I wanted a down-in-the-trenches perspective, and I got it! Peter Cooper is a developer and entrepreneur from the United Kingdom who loves developing new technology solutions from few resources. He's the owner of FeedDigest, a Web application which processes, filters, and redistributes RSS feeds for about twenty thousand users. Most people use FeedDigest to put automatically updating links and posts from their Web feeds onto their own Web sites. One of the first commercial Ruby on Rails developers, Peter continues to use the principles of Agile development to develop services that users love, as proven by FeedDigest's user base. With a recent investment in FeedDigest by a Seattle-based "Internet Software Lab" called Curious Office Partners (www.curiousoffice.com), FeedDigest's future is set, and a relaunch with a new design and many new features is expected in the coming month. Eager to see the RSS industry mature, Peter is focused on bringing RSS-powered technologies to the masses, although not necessarily using the term "RSS." Peter enjoys leveraging his eleven years of Web development experience and six years of blogging experience to provide solutions that users, businesses, and fellow developers find useful and fun.
