By now, most major - and minor, for that matter - online content delivery sources (newspapers, blogs, boards, videos, podcasts, etc) are rich content sources that have RSS feeds. But there are still sites out there that don't, for whatever reason. 5 new web sites are providing a free service that allows users to create RSS feeds from sites that don't have any. The application looks for certain types of links on the page, that you can sometimes define, and creates a feed from those links (permalinks, etc). One application that springs to mind is to use the service to create feeds for boards that don't generate feeds. Every time a thread is created an update will be delivered to your reader.

Enjoy!
NOTE: Ross and I have heard several users complain of usability problems with the color scheme. We are listening to our users and working on a fix. Thanks for your patience.
