Feed.Us, the Content Delivery Platform
We built Feed.Us to enable publishers to create, import, publish and distribute a variety of content across any website - all via our embed-code-based "no software" system.
Our background is in news; we've helped create or manage the websites for large newspapers and media companies.
Why publishers should use Feed.Us:
Simple to use: A simple browser webpage editor and clean interface designed by Google Docs designers is easy to learn. Your content producers can work directly in Feed.Us or use their favorite blog system and import that content into Feed.Us.
Import your content: Import content from other CMSes, RSS or atom feeds, blogs, Email, Google Docs, Windows LiveWriter, web video sources (like youtube), or form building services.
Export that content to any Website: Export your site to your site via our Feed.Us Grabber technology: as easy to install as javascript Website widget, but it's not javascript - it's serverside i.e. indexable by Google.
Feed.Us works on any website regardless of platform and via just 2 lines of code and a local file. Feed.Us is platform independent - PHP, ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, Ruby on Rails (and soon Python). Click here for a detailed description of how Feed.Us works.
Expand your network: Not only can you publish to your own sites, but also "share" your content with your partners. With just the the FeedUs embed code and one file - and you can publish directly to your partner's Website(s).
A variety of content: Publish news, blogs, ads, javascript-widget content (like videos, forms, etc), event calendars, photo gallery slideshows, even recipes. You can make your own publishing applications
Unlimited content and Websites: Feed.Us allows you to publish thousands of articles of content across hundreds of Websites - all with one account.
Javascript Widgets: Build fully customizable (with CSS) javascript widgets quickly and easily. Any feed of content can quickly be turned into a website widget. No limitations like other website content syndication services.
Efficient and scalable Websites: Feed.Us will not limit your site or your partners. Built-in content caching makes for incredibly fast, efficient websites.
Rapidly launch new sites: Once your content is in Feed.Us, you'll find that it's easier and quicker than ever before to build new sites and microsites. Feed.Us works great with CSS and requires little platform experience (PHP, ASP, etc). This means a CSS designer is now your web programmer.
Integrate social streams: Integrate and aggregate Twitter, Facebook and other social networks into your sites.
Our other Apps: Each Feed.Us account comes with all the other Feed.Us applications including Content Ads, Slideshows and all future apps.
Customer service: Our goal is to give great, direct customer service. Rick Stratton, the founder, is the main customer service rep and is available every day and most nights to work with you.
We will do whatever we can to make Feed.Us work for you. Your team will learn Feed.Us quickly but we are here to work with you on your projects. Our team will work in any capacity to help make your project a success.
And if Feed.Us isn't the right fit, we are more than happy to help you find the service provider that will be.
