RSS Digest is cool!
I started using yet another free RSS service this morning called RSS Digest. It allows you to take any RSS feed from any website and get a script that will display items from that feed as HTML on your website.
For example, I used the RSS feed for the list of links that I just started creating on del.icio.us (because del.icio.us doesn't have "badge" functionality like Flickr does) and created a section on the lower right of this page to display them. I am also going to create one for my Netflix Queue just to have some more dorky fun.
What would be really cool is if you could input multiple RSS feeds into RSS Digest. So if your blog or website dealt with a particular topic, you could display links from all of the topic-related websites.
