Use Feed.Us to publish content to a Website or Web App.  Edit some text or add news, publish a blog, add product info, photos, media, all on your site...

Feed.Us is a "hosted" aka "SaaS" service.   But we don't host your site.  Your content resides on our servers, in "the cloud" (via RackSpace). The Feed.Us "Grabber" technology grabs your content off of Feed.Us and places it on your website.  There's no framework involved (use your own CSS/XHTML) and it works on any platform and on any hosting service (or a server in your basement).

What is Feed.Us really good for?  When you don't want to install a full blown CMS. Say the following happens...  

Feed.Us can do this.  But how does it work? Replace the HTML for that box with a Feed.Us script (PHP, .NET, ASP, JSP, Rails script etc).  The PHP script looks like this...

Then the client logs into www.Feed.Us, and makes his own changes, with a convenient, simple WYSIWYG editor.  Here's what he'll see:

Any piece of static text can be added into Feed.Us and edited.  The "contact us", the team bios, the copyright date.  It's easier  to make changes with Feed.Us then using a text editor and FTP.  All that static text is way more useful when it's in the cloud and editable.

Feed.Us integrates with other services: with Feed.Us, clients can use other web services to publish content to their own sites.  Feed.Us integrates with WordPress, Google Docs, RSS and email.  Examples: Use Google Docs "Documents" to manage help documents within a web app or use WordPress.com to update the homepage of a website.
