Unless I am totally brain dead a site called shortWIRE is offering a service that allows you to look at your favorite RSS feeds and I am sitting here trying to figure out if they know what there doing. They let you look at 5 sites for free to get a taste for there service which is cool. But for each additional 10 feeds you want to review you have to pay a significant fee. I review nearly 600 sites feeds. They also have several subscription services one of them will allow you to back-channel 1 sites RSS feed into a readable format for import to your blog for like $4.95 per month.. Jeez give me a break I can do one site for free very easily. Unless I am missing something here I was pretty shocked. Check the service out for yourself and let me know if we are missing something. I have e-mail out to them asking for some clarifications because I am totally shocked. At this point I would not recommend this service. www.newsisfree.com or use a desktop aggreator.
