Blogging gets Fruity
Over the last year I have been enlightened by the Procurement Blog Community. However, my addiction to read the posts of from the likes of Spend Matters, Sourcing Innovation et el has been blighted.
The frustration stems from trying to access the posts whilst I am on the move, which normally means viewing the websites via a tiny screen on my Palm Treo (blackberry alternative). Even with the clever optimisation of pages by the browser, reviewing the different blogs can be a slow and cumbersome process.
But, thanks to a pointer from my collegue Alex Martinez my pain is no longer. Alex introduced me to xFruits, a new Web 2.0 service allowing you to manage all your RSS viewing pleasures. For example, it will take any RSS Feed and covert it to mobile friendly page - take a look at the mobile version of the European Leaders in Procurement Blog.
In addition, xFruits also allows you to:
- aggregate a number of RSS feeds so you can review all your favourite blogs on one webpage
- create an "RSS to Mail" fruit, which will email you with the last post from your favourite blog
- create an "RSS to PDF", which dynamically creates a printer friendly PDF document of your favourite blogs eg. PDF version of the ELP Blog
Here are some of my favourite Fruits, which I use on a daily basis:
- aggregated webpage of my favourite procurement blogs
- Spend matters - mobile version
- Sourcing innovation - mobile version
- eSourcing forum - mobile version
