This is a cool tool if I’ve ever seen one…

Since I’m such a darn geek, I like to keep track of my University’s IT Bulletin, which does not have an RSS feed. I’ll admit, I cannot understand why not given the size of my school, but hey.

So here is the original page…

http://uts.sc.edu/itbulletin/

Fairly straightforward, easy enough to read, and now you know where I go to grad school!

Thanks to CybernetNews I found this really great new tool called Feedity that takes any web site without RSS and makes it all RSS’ey and tasty!

I zipped over to it, pasted in the URL and voila, I had a new RSS feed and there was even a convenient little drop down box to allow me to subscribe with Bloglines (my favorite little aggregator).

Cool. I’ll have to let you know how updates work…

    There’s a number of these sites out there at the mo. I’ve had good results from http://feed43.com but probably the most interesting is http://dapper.net which works graphically. Very clever.
