Simple way to finally get your Basecamp RSS into Google Reader
I’ve always had a problem using the RSS feed from my Basecamp account. This problem occurs because I exclusively use Google Reader for feeds. Reader is one of the many feed readers that DO NOT support authenticated feeds. This would be a feed that requires some sort of username and/or password.
Well now this problem is all but eliminated! A new service called FreeMyFeed allows you to enter your authenticated feed as well as your login information to receive a new feed that will be unprotected. They say that your usernames and passwords are never stored but so does every other site on the planet now… so take that with a grain of salt.
The service does work flawlessly though.
It’s a simple process:
- Go to FreeMyFeed
- Enter the RSS Feed
- Enter your credentials
- Copy new feed
- Enter that feed address into your reader of choice
