Today, nearly every web page offers a RSS or ATOM Feed to their visitors. RSS and ATOM are web feed formats to publish new entries or updates of a website or blog in a stadarized format.

Web feeds usually be displayd by a feed reader and categorized by the site or feed name. Another possible method to display web feeds offers this planet software.

Planet allows you to

• merge web feeds as many as you like to one new webfeed
• display them in a XHTML site
• offer them as RSS or ATOM web feed
• optional mail authentication for new webfeeds
• automatically link to the offering site
• show sitename with favicon

So you can create a Planet like “All news about jQuery” for example, and allow your readers to submit new feeds to include into yours.
