CARP RSS Aggregator

March 3rd, 2005

This conversation continues with regard to Magpie.

I recently experimented with the CARP (Caching RSS Parser) tool from Gecko Tribe. The combination of flexible news feed aggregation plus caching for improved performance is very useful. Between such tools as a WordPress or other weblog and an aggregation tool like CARP, a small web site can produce results similar to those generated via a server side database.

CARP allows the user to search for words or categories so that a blogger can use his or her content throughout the rest of their site with very little fuss. This technique may be useful for small entrepreneurs with a product and a wealth of knowledge that potential customers will value. By tightly integrating this knowledge with the products on the web site, additional value may be created.

Though I am still largely a spectator to the maturing of WordPress 1.5, I see huge potential in using its fledgling CMS tools to build out an entire site that integrates blog content throughout. I am on the edge of my seat looking for an opportunity to do so. The reason I see even more benefit from this development than from a news aggregator, is that it will avoid some of the problems that the RSS aggregation tools have with special characters such as apostrophes and quotation marks. That said, I am still finding my way around the blogosphere and there is much I have to learn. If there is a way around the special character aberrations that CARP generates, I would be delighted to learn about it.
