If you keep track of multiple RSS feeds, combine those feeds into a single feed with an RSS aggregator. RSS aggregators are also helpful if you’re a content producer with multiple blogs and sites and want to combine your RSS feeds into a single feed as a service to your readers and followers.
Here’s a look at four free aggregator tools to use to create a personalized newsfeed.
RSS Mix
RSS makes it easy to combine several feeds into one feed. Enter the URL address of each feed, one on each line, and then press Create. Combine up to 100 feeds with at least two or more unique sources.
Website links to other helpful RSS tools.
Embed generated feeds onto websites as widgets.
There are limited options for customization.
RSS Mix generates an address for the aggregated feed, which you can use to keep your readers updated on everything, all in one place.
RSS Mixer
RSS Mixer is a limited tool, but it’s still worth a try if you want a fast and simple solution for mixing feeds. The free version allows you to combine up to three feeds for one mixed RSS feed that updates once daily.
