MyGlu - alternative to SuprGlu

link to website
from Stephen Downes:
"MyGlu solves all that. Using code from Edu_RSS (which was way ahead of SuprGlu in this sort of thing, in case people have forgotten), MyGlu allows you to define your own list of feeds (including your own del.icio.us feeds), merge them into a single feed, and place the results on your web page (in a few days I'll add RSS and Javascript output as well).
MyGlu not only aggregates feeds, it also filters them according to your specifications. So, for example, you could aggregate your posts, photos and bookmarks with the term 'Amsterdam' in them."
Comment:
This could be an answer to some of the quibbles I have had with Suprglu in trying to use it in my Feedbook example. I would like to have more control over the content of the RSS feed that comes out of Suprglu. When the RSS or Javascript output version is available, I'll try this as another feedbok version and see which I prefer. Hopefully the RSS feed will get over the problem I was having before with the iframe from Suprglu in which the links were opening within the same window, when I really would like the 3rd party sites to be opening in a new window.
I guess one thing that would help decide whether to use this in preference to SuprGlu will be the loading time for the resulting page.
