Is there a ready available service that turns a bunch of RSS feeds into a blog like tumblr or posterous?
Thanks
If you mean a load of RSS feeds into a blog-like display, you could try Yahoo pipes. Popular services like Blogger and Tumblr have javascript widgets too. Then there's Feedburner.
Subscribe to the feeds in Google Reader, give them a common label and in the settings make the label public. This will create a public URL to a web page with the latest entries.
The page is a simple display, without features like commenting.

I have multiple related wordpress sites. one of them has woocommerce.
is there a way to promote some of those products (maybe identified by category or new or something like that) on one of my non-woocommerce sites?
Like the way google adwords show products related to, but not actually productized on that site?
Thanks.
You could use the REST API and grab the info you want from any site that can query the API.
Enable the API:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/
Tech Docs:
http://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/
Have you ever thought about embedding iframe?
You have 2 choices, one is by using REST API as #tachb mentioned and the other one is by embedding iframe.
So you can make a custom products page which has products only without header and footer on the woocommerce site.
After that you can embed the page on the other sites as an iframe.
And please don't forget to add target="_parent" attribute to your all links in iframe content as mentioned here and here.
Hope this will help you.
Need to implement an RSS feed to connect to Google from Sitefinity to publish all of the products listed on the site under the e-commerce section.
Couple of questions,
1.Looking at alternative publishing options, I can't select products as content. (Blogs, News, etc are available) is there a way to make products available?
2.Is this functionality available out of the box or will I need to write custom code to make it work?
No, this is not available out of the box.
What you need to do is create a custom widget and in it iterate through all products and output the correct format the google expects.
I am new to RSS/Atom feeds and there are a couple of points that I don't quite understand from doing some basic research.
Firstly, how do I tell if a website has an RSS/Atom feed? I can't see an icon for it on the website but is there anything else I can look at that will give me an indication that there is a feed?
Secondly, if there isn't an RSS/Atom Feed, is it going to be possible to create an RSS/Atom feed that will always be up-to-date without being a webmaster of the site? I am essentially wanting to use an RSS/Atom feed to get web pages that have products that are going to be resold on another website. Is this going to be possible if these pages aren't already in an RSS/ATOM feed? I know there are tools that allow you to make an RSS Feed of any webpage but I believe you have to re-do it if any content changes.
Thanks for your time.
To find out if a site offers an RSSAtom feed, use feed auto-discovery.
No, if you're not the publisher of the site, you can't publish an RSS feed which is consistently up to date.
So a company I'm working with gets mentioned in the media from time to time (BBC & other big news sites).
Is anyone aware of fees / licenses we will need to use the content that BBC etc provides using OpenGraph and post that content on our site?
So essentially we want a little card on our site with the page title, OG image, URL and possibly the description, when the user clicks this it will open the original page/link on the original source site.
I can't see too much info out there other than sharing on facebook, not using OpenGraph on our site.
Can anyone share some knowledge? Cheers!
If I get your question correctly, you want to retrieve posts on the BBC site, scrape the information and show in your own site, right?
Does the site of BBC, and possible others, provide a feed where you can subscribe to? In that case, you could monitor that feed for any mentions of your company.
Alternatively, you can use one of Facebook's partners that use the Keyword Insights API. There you can set up monitoring for your company name and integrate with their API.
I have a blog and I want some automatically - generated news on it. I have found a few news websites which generate RSS feeds and I want to auto-post them to my blog.
I have done this using the WP-o-Matic plugin, but since the RSS feed's content is limited to some point, the entire news' text does not show up on my blog.
Is there a way to get the whole content of the post the RSS feed is linking to ?
You're going to have to code this yourself. Let's say you subscribe to an RSS feed for Google News. You can parse their feed to get the original URL of the summarized article, but then you're going to have to make a request to that URL and fetch the content on that page. Unless the source happens to make whole articles available via its own RSS feed (unlikely), you're probably in markup-scraping territory.
Have to say this: consider the ethical/legal implications of duplicating entire original content on your site (as opposed to summary snippets), even with proper attribution.
For people that need a solution to the problem I described ..
There are services like:
http://fulltextrssfeed.com/
http://fullrss.net/
http://www.wizardrss.com/
You can use them to do the job for you. They fetch the RSS feed, crawl the websites and extract the full articles for you. After that, they provide a RSS feed of their own with the extracted data.
You can combine the extracted data (the RSS feed the service provides you with) with a wordpress plugin like WP-o-Matic. That way the plugin connects to the RSS feed of the service and the service extracts the content from the original RSS feed.
Have in mind that those services are not perfect. Due to complex website layouts, these services might be unable to find the content, or include things that are not a part of the articles. A manual check of the output is advised.
To the services alrady listed at the top, you can also check http://www.FeedsAPI.org , FeedsAPI brings to the table that it takes the process of posting the articles directly to your secret blog email for you, so all you need to do is manage the publication in the wordpress admin, and you can also get it targeting a specific feed to receive the results you want. Anothe alternative will be the combinations of one of those services with IFTTT . I hope this could help.
