RSS importing now working

The new RSS Importing is now functional.  I'm using it on my site with Twitter, Delicious and Flickr feeds.

This is the first step in our "importing" project.  The goal is to enable Feed.Us customers to use Feed.Us without visiting Feed.Us.

We hope that our customers can assemble sites from a variety of sources.  I think the big use is to allow writers to publish via their own favorite source, and then send an RSS feed to their editors.  

(Next, we're going to do email importing, like Flickr.   Metaweblog synching will come as well. Metaweblog will be really cool because you could 'pull' content from a variety of different CMSes and Blog systems, or use a variety of different publishing applications.  Then assemble and syndicate all that stuff to wherever you want.)

There are few tweaks left (not bugs, tweaks) on this RSS stuff, but email me for info/suggestions/help. 

Update 1: The only problem I see, right now, is that Twitter seems to put the entire tweet in both the headline and the body of the RSS. Weird.

Update 2: I just saw that Tumblr got funding. Tumblr is a really neat blogging tool.  Basically it lets you 'reblog' all the stuff you create in other places, using RSS, and assemble it on one Tumblr blog website.Try it out.

(Of course, you have to maintain your site on Tumblr.  Feed.Us allows you to put all that stuff anywhere. Tumblr is for consumers, where Feed.Us is a professional solution.)
