xFruits: Compose your Information System

xFruits is a web 2.0 service, still in beta, that comes with a very low learning curve to understand what it does and how to use it. The home page of xFruits will tell you, in less than a minute, about its capabilities and features it currently offers. I like websites that can project about its offerings in very short time. It’s all about organizing your home page. Ok, now back to xFruits.

xFruits is a free online service that lets you take advantage of RSS in a variety of ways. Some of the features that I found to be very useful are:-

• RSS Aggregator - Combine several RSS feeds such that the output is a single feed consisting of last 100 new posts. Very useful when you are subscribed to many blogs and track them everyday.
• RSS to HTML - Input a feed and receive a strict xHTML 1.0 output.
• RSS to PDF - Create a PDF file from an RSS feed. The PDF document is automatically set for printing and it includes a bookmark by source, title and author.
• Post to RSS - Get a RSS feed of all emails sent to an xFruits mailbox. Get several persons writing on that mailbox and get an RSS feed of it.
• RSS to MOBILE - Automatically create your mobile website version! Enter your RSS feed and get an url to consult your Website or blog on your mobile. xHTML 1.0 standard.
• RSS to VOICE - Create vFruits from an RSS input to a podcast output. Each item of the feed is converted into voice by the VocalFruits service. Now that’s something going to be very helpful in future.
• RSS to OPML - Gather and organise your RSS feeds by putting them into a single OPML file.

» Go ahead and give xFruits a try and meanwhile I try to figure out to use xFruits to organize my information.
