FeedJournal- Convert RSS feeds into printable PDF files

Posted on March 2, 2008 at 7:07 am

I love my RSS feeds, but sometimes I want to be able to physically hold a paper in my hand and read it. Now RSS users can enjoy the best of both worlds. Printing your favorite RSS feeds in a newspaper like template can be easily done with FeedJournal. It is a great little service that will allow users to convert their favorite feeds into a printable PDF file. Now your favorite feeds will look like a traditional newspaper.

Customizing the entire layout will take a few moments to complete. For easier reading, you can choose to have multiple columns and leave out images. FeedJournal will also let website owners add a cool widget to their site. Subscribers of the website can view the same newspaper PDF file.

Some individuals may be reluctant to print their favorite RSS feeds because they change so frequently. However, it is still a cool feature to use every now and then. There may be times that you must hit the road and will not have access to the internet. Printing your feeds before traveling will provide you with the opportunity to catch up on some much needed reading. Although you would go through a lot of ink and paper if you print every feed, being able to choose a few of them is still convenient.

Once you complete the quick signup process, you can choose a few of the available feeds or you can import your own personal favorites. Just simply click onto the “new feed” button and a pop up window will allow you to easily enter the feed URL and its category. Typing in a few feeds won’t be time consuming but the list could add up very quickly. Although I enjoyed using this service, I can’t imagine doing it constantly. Most likely, I will print feeds before taking a trip to a destination with no internet.

FeedJournal is definitely a cool service. Bloggers and website owners can use it to their benefit. Providing subscribers with an easy to print version of their latest articles or blog posts will give them the chance to spread it around. Offline readers will become interested enough to visit their websites and even subscribe to them. If you have always wanted to create your own newspaper, you will have the opportunity to do so with this useful tool. Within a few seconds, your chosen feeds can be printed in a professional and easy to read manner.

    I’ll admit, it’s interesting. It also seems like an incredible waste of paper and time. I subscribe to so many feeds, I’d be printing Moby Dick everyday.

    The Feedjournal is cool. Man, if you like to read on the “can” the FJ is for you! I can create and print out the newspaper that I want to read. I don’t understand people who like to sit at their computers for several hours a day reading random stuff and being hypnotized by the internet, we’ve all done it. Get online to check one thing and the next thing you know you’ve wasted 2 hours wandering aimlessly around the internet. The Feedjournal helps me be more efficient and allows me be away from the computer and read current information in an easy to read newspaper format. It really helps reduce the “information overload”
