BlogBridge is the name of a Java-based RSS aggregator developed by Pito Salas. It is described on the BlogBridge web site as "a blog, feed and RSS aggregator for “info-junkies”." BlogBridge is aimed for those people who are subscribed to many RSS feeds, in the area of 200 to 400, and includes many features to make this possible. BlogBridge includes a feature known as a "Guide," or a group of RSS feeds that are related to each other. The software also contains a feature called a "SmartFeed," which is a special RSS feed that returns articles from other feeds containing user-defined keywords. In addition to the user-defined Guides, the BlogBridge web site also offers "Expert Guides," which are downloadable Guides centered around a particular subject, normally created by an expert in that subject.

[edit] BlogBridge Service

BlogBridge also gives users the option to create an account with the free "BlogBridge Service," which essentially lets users upload a list of their feeds to their account so that they can synchronize their feeds across multiple computers. The Service can also be used to back up feeds in the event of data loss.
