I write six columns for Examiner.com; each one has a different RSS Feed. I like to keep it simple and in one place. So, over the years, I have used several free services that have allowed me to combine all my feeds into one. Below is my Top 3 list.
FEEDcombine
FEEDcombine allows you to add as many RSS Feeds as you want and combine them together into a personalised feed. I like the design of the page. Setting up is very quick and easy.
ChimpFeedr
I am a big fan of MailChimp and I used their service for my former newsletter. ChimpFeedr is even easier to set up than FEEDcombine!
Some people have mentioned that the service can be unreliable at times.
Yahoo Pipes
I have used Yahoo Pipes for about a year and I love it!
It is less easy to set up than the rest and when you publish an article in one of the RSS Feeds you combined together, the entire content from this specific feed gets pushed in front of the rest. For people who work in the news like me, it is not very convenient. However, it is a VERY reliable service.
Feedburner
Once you have combined all your RSS Feed into one convenient link, I advise you to use Feedburner. Feedburner is an excellent service that provides tons of free tools for bloggers; For more information, read the following article.
I am in fact re-visiting this article by you. After the first read I went ahead with Chimpfeedr only to realize it is not updating the feed after a day or two. Yahoo pipes is not convenient since it does not sort the final feed posts by date. I did not try Feedcombine rather started using Feedstitch (http://feedstitch.com). Here I can use Open ID Authentication and the result feed is the way I wanted :)
Hello Pranav,
Thank you for your input. It is always appreciated. Bear in mind that these tools come with pros and cons, and are very moody at times. Feedstitch did not work for me for that reason as well.
I currently use Google Reader. Good to know there are more options out there. Thanks for sharing!
Which of the three is your favorite of all?
Definitely Yahoo Pipes. It can be a little challenging at times, but once you get the hang of it, it is definitely a great tool!
I've been looking for a tool to do this – thanks for your suggestions I'll check them out.

I use Feedburner too; never heard of the other 2 tools which look really interesting. Thanks for the great info !
You are welcome! Thanks for reading!
I love MailChimp. One of the coolest companies in Atlanta. One of the cofounders is in my entrepreneurs group.
Yes, Mailchimp is super user-friendly.
Thank you for making this topic easier for me…there is so much info out there, I love when great people distill it down to manageable and useful articles & recommendations.
I'm glad I can help!
This is a great idea. I currently use RSS Mix to combine multiple feeds so that they can be tweeted out through various channels.
Good stuff! Keep it up!
