Never miss a thing on MeFi again! →[More:]

This is a combined RSS 2.0 feed of MeFi, MeTa, AskMe and MeFi Projects. Add it to your favorite RSS reader, sort by date in descending order and enjoy!

If you display it in your browser, it does not sort by date. If there's interest, it would be trivial to add MeCha the splice pulls from del.icio.us

You can mix your own feeds at RSS Mix, FeedJumbler, and FrankenFeed. If you keep a list of feeds in del.icio.us (or something similar), you can keep the spliced feed URL the same in your feed reader and simply edit what your feed contains on del.icio.us. The only caveat with the service I provide is that you must use FeedBurner.

I've tried using a mixed feed for MetaFilter posts before. It's not ideal and is very hard to keep up. I therefore recommend individual folders over one single feed. But, of course, do whatever floats your boat.

Holycowmoly. It's quite daunting.

It's not really as daunting as it appears to be. MeFi Projects don't appear to expire as quickly, presumably because there aren't as many as their are FPPs. Taking this into account, this represents about 40 hours of posts that are on the front pages at this moment. Once you get over the initial load, you'll only be getting a couple an hour.

FeedBurner updates once every 30 mins, so you can set you refresh rate to 30.

I haven't paid that much attention to MeFi since 2003.
