Detailed information about Piconews
Feed catalog
This feed catalog is shared across all Piconews users. The feeds you or others add are available for all, but you also have the possibility to register private feeds which are only visible by you. You don't want the world to read your internal family blog as no one would be interested in reading its content? Add this feed in the catalog by checking the private checkbox. You found this blog dealing with French recipes no one else has ever tried? Share it with Piconews community, and help other to find it by classifying it accordingly.
Each feed in the catalog can have several categories, to easily find it after wards. You can also look up in the feed catalog by keywords. Looking for a feed dealing with java? Just type in java in the search field and get the list of feeds available on Piconews about Java technology.
Alternatively, the feed catalog can be browsed by categories, by fetching all feeds under a given category. You may be interested only in Movies. Just download from Piconews all the feeds about Movies, and here you go...
