This is a bit outside my field of expertise. Does Roller address the
RSS/Atom feed requirement?

Subject: 97things and Amazon + page
Hi Folks,
The book will be back from the printer in the next two or three
weeks and on the selves as fast as O'Reilly can get book sellers to
stock it!
Amazon.com has the Plus page where you can hook up a blog feed
associated with a book. The idea I had was to create an RSS/Atom
feed that aggregates the blogs of everyone who authored the 97
Things book so that blog entries on Amazon Plus page come from all
of your blogs.
Does anyone know of a service that can aggregate many blogs and
allow management of content. Preferable free. The aggregator should
be able to read many feeds (RSS or Atom) and out put a single
standard feed type (again RSS or Atom).
I would manage the feed for quality. I would filter out blog entries
that are not architecture focused to reduce the noise. So if you
write about house training your dog I"ll probably block that entry
from the aggregations but if you blog about software architecture
then your blog entry will be syndicated on the book page for
97things on Amazon.com.
I think this is a great way to add value to our book page on
Amazon.com but also another way to give authors of the book more
exposure. Thoughts?
