Mozilla launches LizardFeeder
“The LizardFeeder is a feed aggregator, whose source code is built atop Sam Ruby’s Planet Venus. ” It doesn’t seem to use venus to actually render the aggregated feeds but rather has a really cool Ajax front end. It allows you to view data from the past and filter down the sources that you aggregate from – all via the javascript UI. Nicely designed as well. Source code is available at https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/lizardfeeder/trunk/. Definitely something to look at to improve malaysianheartbeat.com.
