Introducing SmartFeed™

We are excited to announce SmartFeed.

SmartFeed creates a subscriber-aware version of your feed that intelligently deploys the right version of your feed to the appropriate subscribers. Today, SmartFeed understands the capabilities and limitations of syndication readers/aggregators and on-the-fly transforms your source feed to function in all of the readers and aggregators we know about. If we detect a user-agent that does not support Atom feeds, and a publisher's source feed is Atom, SmartFeed will convert the feed on the fly to RSS so that the client can still display the feed. SmartFeed will be enhanced to become even more subscriber sensitive in the coming weeks and months to maximize your feed's reach, visibility, and even money-making potential! The exciting possibilities for subscriber-tuned versions of your feed via SmartFeed (based on parameters that you, the publisher, make available) aren't lost on us either.

Here is just a partial list of user-agents that SmartFeed currently supports:

• NetNewsWire/1.0.5
• NetNewsWire/1.0.8
• FeedDemon/1.0
• FeedDemon/1.10RC1
