WOW!  I will check this out in the AM when I am a little more alert!

This looks kinda cool, I may have to give it a try. Thanks!

I think I'm missing something. When I go to your site, I see one post listed in the window. 

I love it, very helpful.

Thanks 

I'll check it out.  Thank you!!!

I haven't done anything with regards to putting a blog on my own site...this could be interesting.  Thanks!

Will this be read as fresh content on the web site?

how is it different from the many widgets available?...almost seems blog overload, no offense is ment.

I can't even keep up with the posts at Active Rain.  I don't know how one can read so many blogs.  But I guess this is technology that can help make things more efficient.

I see the same thing Jeff saw...one post. Is that because it's the wee hours and it only shows current calendar day? I'll try back later...

Thanks for the post.  It's pretty neat to watch the posts come up on the site.

Thank you very much! Great post, I will be using this for sure.

Very interesting.  Will need to check into this!

Well it looks and sounds interesting.  I will see about adding something like this but I'm not sure how helpful it is at this moment.

Excellent Resource.  I love those feeds for keeping up with news and the market now something that is real estate related... very good.  Thank you for the heads up!

Are you going to create something that will reach out to our own blogs and do the same thing - as opposed to sharing the entire collective of AR on my website, I want to share heading from just our agents blogs (all on AR).

Where can we see what the embedded item would look like if we add it to our own site? Do you have a preview page? Thanks for sharing!

Wow !

Thank you for all for the comments.

Let me try to answer them all in one reply.

Re: Jeff Turner's comment:
FeedPot.com always starts with an empty pot, that is, when you first access the site or the widget it starts monitoring the web for new real estate related pots. As soon as it finds one it streams it onto the screen. As more posts are popping up on the web, it pushes the older one down and places the chronologically later one o the top. It shows the top 5 most recent posts.

As opposed to regular feed readers, which archive data, FeedPot.com focuses on catching new posts ASAP. It is not a replacement for regular RSS readers but rather a different view into the world of collective wisdom.

I am using desktop and web-based RSS readers and the problem with my ActiveRain reader was (similar to Tim Maitski's comment) that there were just too many posts aggregated at every given time. And at a given moment I did not have time to go through 50-100 items. Hence the idea came to do an almost real-time  monitor with only basic information so that my eyes (and hopefully other visitors' too) can pick up interesting articles quickly.

Re: Christina Ehtridge's comment about specialized version of FeedPot so that it only tracks a given set of feeds

Yes. It's doable !!! Currently FeedPot tracks as many sources as possible from all over the web. Anything real estate related. However it can be set up to track only a given set of feeds: e.g. your agents' feed only. I am more than happy to put together a version for you. You can email me the list of ActiveRain profiles and I can set up a version for you.

Re: Integration into your own site.
FeedPot has now a simple iframe based widget you can place on your website. Width and height can be customized. If you need help with placing it onto your site, please let me know

If you have already embedded, kindly post it here for other people to see how it's done

More features are coming soon. I'll post them here and on FeedPot's regular blog at  http://feedpot.wordpress.com/

Re: Ryan's questions about preview page

Anybody already has the widget embedded? Please let us know. I'll also put together a mockup page over the weekend to show how it looks like when embedded. 

Thanks again for all your comments. Please post your ideas, feature requests. Let's make this a really valuable tool ! 

Here is the first site with FeedPot on it:

Very Cool. I'm learning so many things on here (AR), it's really amazing. Thank you to all the techies who are making my life a little easier : )

I will certainly chekc it out.I don't want to miss something like this, specially in real time blogs.Great stuff.

Very interesting. Have never heard of this, but then again I am very new to this whole concept

Thanks for highlighting my use of feedpot.  I like to try new things to make my site standout.  Hopefully this will provide another reason for someone to stay a little longer while browsing my pages.

I placed your widget at http://philsharphomes.com/market_news.shtml

This looks pretty cool, I am looking forward to learning more about how to use it.  Will we be aable to feed to it?

Thanks for your efforts, Phil

Looks good Phil.

Would you folks be interested in a version, where you can define the list of blogs to pull (as opposed to all real estate feeds pulled by Feedpot)? In other words, you could have a blog roll kind of data with Feedpot functionalities. You could add your own, your agents' (if you are broker) feeds, your  partner's and network's and have Feedpot stream it for you via a widget?

Let me know. If there are enough takerd, I find some time to implement for free
