Create an RSS feed when there isn't one

There are a lot of pages on the web without RSS feeds.  And some of us want RSS feeds for them so we don't have to keep traveling back to the site to check for updates.  Enter Page2RSS.  This service will create an RSS feed for any page you choose.  They offer a browser button that will create feeds for whatever page you're viewing at present.  To get the button, just drag the link on their website up into your browser's toolbar (seems to work in both IE and Firefox).  How lovely!  I have used this for some time now and quite successfully added several new feeds to my list of hundreds.  I have absolutely no complaints.

Thanks for the tip! I use Feedity (www.feedity.com), which is much simpler and faster tool for creating custom RSS web feeds. I highly recommend it! Chao :)

Hey,

For complete control over your feeds try Feed43.com. Takes a bit of time to get the right code combo to push out the results you want, but when you get it it rocks.

I've used it for a lot of our college's website and even for a Google Docs spreadsheet (Google's RSS feed for this is terrible).

I notice a bunch of hits to our site from another similar service called Ponyfish.
