# MyRss.com is to Feedable as...

By Roy Osherove December 28, 2003 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools), [Cool sites](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-sites)

**Historical article** · Originally published December 28, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Well, I'm totally impressed. [MyRSS.com](http://www.myrss.com/) (link via [Cameron](http://weblogs.asp.net/cameronreilly/archive/2003/12/28/46190.aspx)) are offering the same service as [Feedable](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/SiteFeeder/), only they have an advantage: They **automatically** create the RSS feed on the fly from the site you give them, whereas Feedable is actually manual labor. I'm impressed. I tried throwing them [iserializable.com](http://www.iserializable.com/) and it worked beautifully recognizing the RSS headers.

One con: the RSS feed contains commercials that appear for like 10 -15 seconds before the actual RSS content appears. If you wanna remove that you have to "sponsor" the channel. Still the idea is very cool and I do wonder how they recognize the headers. It's not perfect tho. Throwing them a [Hebrew news site](http://www.maariv.co.il/) gave me an empty RSS feed, but I did not expect for it to work either.

The nice this is that someone has been able to come up with some sort of economical model for this idea which is fine. [Feedable](http://royo.is-a-geek.com/SiteFeeder/) is merely a proof of concept of an [article I've written](http://msdnaa.net/Resources/display.aspx?ResID=2324) and was never intended to be an all encompassing solution (well, at least not at first).
