CNET Editors' review
This free application provides a user-friendly way to create and maintain your own RSS feeds, even if you're a novice.
Mirabyte Feed Writer RSS Edition offers a cleanly designed, easy-to-understand interface for creating news feeds for your Web site. It offers a vertical Feed Management pane on the left side of its interface, and a larger pane on the right side for creating and configuring a feed. The toolbar isn't cluttered with a confusing array buttons (a problem with some similar applications) and we especially liked how contextual help is available at all times in the Feed Management pane. It installs with an option for English or German as the default language. It launches with a prompt to open the Help feature to learn about the program before using it.
In our tests, Mirabyte Feed Writer RSS Edition responded quickly and performed very well. Instructions for each step were very clear, as were the labels for field requiring entries. Anyone considering launching their own news feed, whether focusing on text or podcasts, should check out this well-designed application.
