Recently, I was looking for a way to combine all of my rss feeds into a single, aggregated feed. With blinders on, I started evaluating blogging software that would allow me to host my own blog, while also pulling in feeds from other sites to which I contribute. Turns out the solution was much simpler. Planet is an rss news feed aggregator that combines feeds from a variety of different sites, and displays them as a single feed. Planet, built using Python, has a very nice templating engine which makes it easy to modify the layout and presentation of the site. The amazing simplicity is that I simply setup a Cron job to run every so often to update the planet, and generate a single page from the template defintions. So if you're interested in receiving a combined feed of all my individual feeds from Artima, @kirkk.com, Agile Junction, and my home page, you can do so easily. For convenience, here's My Planet where you can subscribe to the feed.
