Stephen's Glu - Roll Your Own Feed Aggregator

Stephen Downes cooks up home made Glu. Check it out.
SuprGlu is a great site, but the problem with it is that you have to use the SuprGlu website. If you want to tinker with the code, add feeds from your friends, put the content right in your webpage, or whatever, you're out of luck.

MyGlu solves all that. Using code from Edu_RSS (which was way ahead of SuprGlu in this sort of thing, in case people have forgotten), MyGlu allows you to define your own list of feeds (including your own del.icio.us feeds), merge them into a single feed, and place the results on your web page (in a few days I'll add RSS and Javascript output as well).

MyGlu not only aggregates feeds, it also filters them according to your specifications. So, for example, you could aggregate your posts, photos and bookmarks with the term 'Amsterdam' in them....Here's an example.
