RSSFWD goes belly up

The developers of RSSFWD have pulled up their tent stakes and moved on.
The service is no longer in operation. Sadly, even though love may make the world go ’round, money greases the wheel. And RSSFWD developers weren’t generating any money on a free service, and they were just overwhelmed.
SimplePie is ceasing development

The team that has been created and kept updated the SimplePie rss feed parser has decided to go on to other things.
For now, the SimplePie code is housed at github.com, a place for developers to share code. Perhaps someone will decide to take on the SimplePie development mantle. Until then, you can continue to use SimplePie for all your RSS needs for the forseeable future.
RSS Forward (RSSFWD) shutting down
by admin on Nov.22, 2009, under News
The free, online RSS Forward service is shutting down in February 2010.
That’s according to their web site.
The service forwards an e-mail each time your favorite web site updates its RSS feed. They say it costs too much money to maintain, eats up technical support time and is consuming a lot of bandwidth. There is only one glimmer of hope – that someone will either buy or partner with them to keep it going. If you can help, drop them a line.
