Wikio: Oops, My Fault

When TechCrunch featured Wikio - a Swiss-based, Digg-like, Web 2.0 news search engine - a couple of days back, I missed just two words in Michael Arrington’s post:

RevenueMonitor - Introduction

I recently received a copy of RevenueMonitor (non-aff) for my (meager) translation services (i.e. English -> Malay), and successfully installed it on one of my shared hosting accounts for testing. So, I thought I might as well feature it here.

RSS Feed Mixing

Prior to today, I used only RSS Mix for my feed mixing, i.e. combining many feeds into one, needs. For example, I used it to combine individual feeds from the DigitalPoint forum or combine the individual feeds from the various is-there blogs.
