New web service reads aloud any RSS feed to you as a Podcast

RSS DJ is a new style of RSS aggregator. In fact, we call it an RSS Mixer, and you are the DJ (well, maybe a PJ for Podcast Jockey). Here are some of the coolest things that RSS DJ does and lets you do...

* Take any text based RSS feed (blogs, news feeds, anything), and automatically convert them to spoken word MP3 podcasts!
* Filter out advertisements from RSS Feeds - Yay!
* Scrape web pages for those RSS feeds that don't provide their entire stories but only a summary or a link (you know who you are!)
* Create your own RSS DJ "Mixes" combining feeds based on tags, freshness, and peer ratings
* You can even interweave songs and tracks from our FREE Creative Commons licensed music library!

I've been toying around with a small linux shell script called RS3 for about a year now. I've brought this up here on IT Garage in the past and it worked well for me, a Linux geek, as a script. But I wanted to make it accessible to everyone to use so I recently worked on making this a web service. Enter RSS DJ.

RSS DJ officially went into Alpha this week and we're looking for people to try it out give it a spin, create mixes, and to submit new feeds and artists. Check it out!
