I’m humbled people are still using this tool I made back in 2003.

Hello.
I stumbled upon your blog while in search of examples of Feed2JS in libraries. Our library is in the process of reworking our home page, and this has been very helpful. And what great examples!
I have only begun experimenting w/RSS options and Feed2JS seems to best meet our needs. We’re interested in having a feed connected to our blog. I am wondering though, how long it generally takes to update? Should I expect it to be immediate, a few hours, overnight? I cannot tell if we’re experiencing an error, or if it just takes some time.

Thanks!

I use it on a couple of blogs I set up at my library so that my colleagues could eyeball recent posts from a number of blogs. See the “Baruch Blogs” page or the “LIS Blogs” page on either of these blogs:

At K-State Libraries we use it on the front page to display “talking in the library” part – http://www.lib.k-state.edu/

We use it at http://library2.norwich.edu/sgs/databasemba.html (and all other databases by program pages) — which feeds from http://www.nulibrary.com/blog/. Also the news on the front page of our website (on the right hand side) and our news page http://www.norwich.edu/academics/library/news.html feeds from http://library2.norwich.edu/news/.

I’m interested in the Google Ajax feed API, but cannot work on it yet due to the accessibility requirements from my institution.

I use it for the “news and tips” feed on this page. Love it!

I have it embedded in our Blackboard course guides creator thing (it needs a name). Here’s a quick sample I worked up, the feed is towards the bottom:

Example from the University of Michigan Library:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/hsl/ uses feed2js for the “Upcoming Workshops”, and “HSL News Blog”

That’s just one example of several like it.
