קוצים של פחד

If you are a junkie feed reader like I am, you would appreciate Feed43.com.
What it does is both simple and smart - you give it a webpage with no RSS feeds, define what you want to receive, and it builds a valid RSS feed for the site.
Just like that !

How it works, from the Feed43.com page:

Once the feed is set up, the service works as follows:
1. Your feed reader sends request to our server to download the feed.
2. Feed43, in it’s turn, downloads the original source URL, processes it, converts to valid RSS feed on the fly, and returns it to feed reader application.
3. Feed reader displays the contents of this feed to you.

To set up the feed, you must tell feed43 what the items you are interested in look like. Note that it requires some basic html knowledge. It took me about 10 minutes to set up a feed for my Google Reader items.
The search pattern looks something like this:

<div class="item">
<h2 class="item-title"><div class="{*}"><a href="{%}" mce_href="{%}">{%}</a></div></h2>{*}
<div class="item-info">{%}</div>{*}
<div class="item-body"><div style={*}>{%}</div></div>
</div>

Where {%} indecates something that is interesting, such as title, link or contents, and {*} indicates something that is not interesting. The <div class …> tags are used as anchors in the search pattern, telling feed43 where items start and end.

Simple, smart and very useful.
