I can't believe how I was able to keep track of the news and sites in the pre-RSS era. I truly am addicted to RSS feeds and find myself quite lost if a site doesn't offer a feed.

A site I want to track, but rarely do is The Jakarta Post. They don't have a RSS feed (or at least I couldn't find it), so I thought of scraping it myself and building a feed, like I did with Fokke & Sukke.

Then I remembered there were services out there that did this for you and one of them is Feed43. Within a minute or so, I had my Jakarta Post feed set up.

The site asks for the URL of the page and then for some matching rules (think of regexps, but way more simple). It's really easy to work with! Keep it in mind if you ever come across sites that don't have RSS feeds available (yet).
