![]() Setup: retrieve the RSS feed and save it. Andy Beard, I agree that password-protected feeds would be a really. I personally use it and love it, it’s fast and I use so much that is Google’s already whats one more. I know several friends who have started using RSS feeds and all of them went to Google Reader. ![]() Luckily, you can have the best of both worlds by synchronizing FeedDemon with Google Reader. The source code is hosted on Gist and provided below. Feed Stats: Google Reader defiantly up on both personal and work sites. Perhaps more importantly, web-based readers can't subscribe to password-protected feeds or feeds that only exist behind your firewall (for example, Intranet feeds), whereas FeedDemon supports these types of feeds. The only downside is that you need to have a Google Reader account. Google Reader however keeps them all (or at least a lot more). However, R-Bloggers, like most blogs, limits the RSS feeds to the latest few. I wanted to use the RSS feed to get the frequency of posts and the tags and categories used. In the meantime I needed an example I could use publicly which led me to thinking about analyzing R-Bloggers. I will have more to write about that project in a few weeks. I have used GNU make and Apache ANT but wanted a 100% R solution. For example, I create lots of monthly and quarterly reports using Sweave and the only differences between versions are a few variables. I have been working on a new package makeR to help manage Sweave projects where you wish to create multiple versions of documents that are based on a single source.
