Yahoo just announced a similar tool. I haven’t tried it yet (it’s currently down), but from the description, it seems to do what FeedJumbler does. And it took them only, what, almost 2 years to copy what I did …

Yahoo! Pipes: Unlocking the Data Web (by Jeremy Zawodny)

Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment.

Once it’s back up I’ll have to give it a try and see if it could really replace FeedJumbler for my purposes …

If you still don’t read Scott Adams’ blog, you should really start now … I think his blog is even more interesting than Dilbert …

President Bush has unveiled his plan to achieve the top goal of his presidency: a popularity rating of zero

[Quoted from The Dilbert Blog: Vacationing Toward Victory ]

Scott Adams was doing a Q&A session on his blog - I particularly liked this one here:

The Dilbert Blog: Answers to your questions

How much spare time do you have in a given day???

A. I don’t know what “spare” means when you have a family.

This is new for me - (Comment-)Spammers that apologize for what they do …

Well, I’m sorry too, but I’ll have to delete your comment …

(Hmm, maybe these are people that somehow get paid to do this, but they really hate to do it?)

… if you notice anything weird, please let me know …

Oh, btw, the Blogger import thingy in Wordpress works pretty good - together with these hints/and modifications here and some additional .htaccess tweaks and copying of static files, the transition was pretty fast and smooth.

Only one thing, which the Wordpress Blogger import tool doesn’t tell you: if your Blogger blog is hosted on a non-blogspot site and published through FTP/SFTP to your own hosting server, the import tool will fail. But there is an easy way to fix that: before you start the import utility, simply login to Blogger and switch your Blogger blog to Blogspot hosting - then everything works fine.
