I have had this idea by wanting put url as a data in url ... http://www.sortons.net/dev/call_article … ,1-0,0.xml
At the beginning, I wanted to do a standalone version and I have had an idea ... would it be possible users SHARE THEIR OWN news feed RSS and a pun Plugin create a page with blocks containing custom news for each users ??? And we can imagine by "default" the page could regroup all news brought by all users ?!
