Free For All Friday
There are multiple different RSS Reader’s to choose from these days, and the list of options keeps growing. Now we can add Fwicki to that list of reader’s. So what is Fwicki and how is it different from every other feed reader out there?
Fwicki uses an RSS reader that combines mashup, ajax, and feed generation. It offers some customization and personalization. One option that you have is to create your own personal fwicki page that would potentially be your master feed list. Along with the customization is the Fwicki search engine that will help you find the feeds you’re looking for. They also have a system where you can vote useless Fwicki’s out of the community.
–Mashup–
Mashup just one single master feed to create your fwicki. In the account settings, you are able to select the number of results in your customized blend. Fwicki’s’ can be private or public. The set parameters in accounts settings will allow you to determine the number of results that would be in your chosen blend.
– Fwicki Page–
Instead of having a feed reader, you can have a Fwicki page which would replace your reader. If you have a blog, you’re even able to integrate your Fwicki into your site.
If you’re wanting to learn more about Fwicki, they do have video tutorials available which will demonstrate what the reader is capable of. They explain how to create a Fwicki, managing ads, and settings and status. If you’re wanting an account, there are a few different options ranging from free - $10 per month, or even a $10 or $18 one time fee. Visit Fwicki and check it out!

Nice find Ryan.
I have been using Netvibes for all my feed reading and don’t think I will be shifting from there.
One thing that I like about Fwicki is the ability to mashup the feeds.
Would be worth trying to mashup all my site feeds.
However, can you view the mashed up feed?
Hi Ajay & Ryan, Fwicki Pres here. To answer your question Ajay, Fwicki gives the user an online (unique url) Fwicki Page. The Fwicki page is an online reader which displays the mashed up feed and has a customizable header & footer. The customizable header & footer option allows the Fwicki owner to tailor the page to match their site or blog.
The Fwicki page also allows the user to create revenue.
The mashed up feed is a unique feed that comes with its own unique feed url. (Treat this RSS feed as you would any feed) This Fwicki feed can then be used in any reader you choose (on your computer, online, or just use the Fwicki page). Justin and I created Fwicki because we wanted the tool. Now you can get the latest news from all your favorite feeds from one Fwicki feed mashup. Searching through all the feeds listed in your reader is obsolete.
There are more exciting things coming from Fwicki very soon. These new features will enhance your online RSS experience and take RSS to the next level. One more thing… wait ’til you see the new face lift!
Dig in a bit deeper… Fwicki rocks!
Hope to see you at the site!
