The userland stuff looks good, but it requires manila or radio userland doesn't it Dave? So I cant test it, without signing up for Radio, or buying a Manila server. Tell me if I'm wrong. II'd love to try it.
The Jayeckles java servlet requires some server based programs which i never heard of, though I'm not a programmer to be sure. It needs java which has some issues.
Jay saying it provides a greater ability to customise than any other RSS software is a pretty dangerous boast though - especially as there is so much development going on all the time, including good open source stuff.
Smart use of CSS can provide great customisability too. We've been trying the phase4 parser with good results (needs Php) as well as the Wythecliffe solution (Dave Carter Todd at http://www.wc.cc.va.us/services/news/download.asp?view=channel.asp) plus the RSSbox service at http://piefke.helma.at/rss/ All we have also been able to use (with no programming expertise at all and no requirements for other proprietary software). (sorry I havent got the URL for Phase4, but if anybody wants to find it try Google or ask me, and II'd find the URL.)
All free services or software that are easy to set up and easy to customise with another 30 mins of CSS coding and/or js configuration.
For me the best software should not require anything not commonly found on servers, easy to set up, and should not require a proprietary programs for it to work within. Then is has to be easily customizable, has to load quick, and preferably be able to cache (like phase4 parser)
