We just released several new items that you may find useful. The first is the ability to combine and filter feeds.

Being able to combine and filter feeds will lend itself beautifully to content sites that have many different feeds and like to give the flexibility to their readers. In addition, feed users can combine several feeds, be able to read them in one place, and filter feeds on a particular keyword, phrase, or limit the number of feed items. We could go on forever with the number of possiblities here, of course, such feeds can be used for the BlastCasta news script generator as well.

We also now have a highly customizable feed landing page creator. You can create a feed landing page that fits your style for a feed (even a transformed feed) and use it to display the contents of your feed in a user-friendly manner as well as allow easier subscription to it. The best thing about this is that your readers will have options on the feed landing page to combine and filter the feed, if they desire.

Continuing with our theme of customization, we officially present "Save & Share", a script you can easily add to your site to allow your readers to share and bookmark pages. Like many of our other services, this one is customizable to fit the look-and-feel of your site. This free service is meant to promote traffic to your site by easily allowing readers to share your pages.

Finally, we now offer a Flash version of our news script that will work on pages where JavaScript is disallowed such as social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. We'll work on getting this approved by MySpace and other social networking sites to appear in their widgets collection.

We're live! Our first release of BlastCasta is out and ready for use and you will not be dissapointed. We stayed up late on the eve before the holidays to get this thing live.

What is BlastCasta? Well to start (and we are just starting with everything we plan to give out for free) BlastCasta is a tool to pull content from news feeds, podcasts, blogs, and indeed any type of RSS feed into your website. But also, you can use it to allow others to pull your news feed into their websites. This could have the effect of getting your content (and links to your content) out to thousands or millions of other Internet users. It's just what the web was waiting for.

You don't need to sign up for this service and it can easily be used to increase traffic to your website. Feel free to contact us to learn more about how BlastCasta can help you.

Upcoming are many new features for both online publishers and developers to leverage the power of feeds. Subscribe to our blog feed or newsletter for the latest in BlastCasta's offerings and feed technology.
