New free data feed service now available: Ufeed Data feed, RDF data resource, product feed, news feed News I’m glad to announce a new tool – unified data feed (Ufeed) now available on web2express.org. This tool allows individuals and organizations to create data feeds for products, news, events, jobs and studies on the web. At the same time, the data you enter also exist as semantic data resources that you and your audience can reuse across the web. When you visit web2express.org, this free data feed service is presented to you by default. You can simply sign up, which gives you a private workspace to create and manage your data feeds. To provide the data feeds on your web site, simply insert the feeds’ URIs into your web pages. All of the data feed and RDF data resources on this web site are open to the public.

Developing a practical tool/service for people to open their data on the semantic web is one of the main goals web2express.org has been pursuing as an open lab. The first semantic publishing tool released last year is a plugin for Wordpress blogger. Many people have checked out the demo for the web2x semantic blogging. However, it requires installing the software on user’s web server, which is a big hurdle for many people. I feel the best tool for many users would be a free online service – no need to install and maintain any software. Thus, the unified data feed online service is born.

The Ufeed service is designed to ease the pain of many individuals and small organizations that have not yet been able to provide data feeds. Web feed is becoming an increasingly important marketing channel. I hope you will find Ufeed a useful service – enabling you to regain the competitive edge in the current evolution of data web.

Enjoy feeding your data!
