Let users add their own RSS feeds
Hey all.
This is my first post here so please be nice.
Firstly - I have never had to post on here due to any question I have possibly had being solved already. I am however pretty stuck finding the right answer to something I have been looking for - for a long time!
Is it possible using either views or another module to allow all registered users of a site add their own rss feeds? I have searched high and low with this - it seems like something alot of people have tried to find out about, but nobody seems to have nailed the solution.
Here is an example of what I would love to achieve.
1. My site would feature my own feed of content (or multiple ones)
2. It would also provide content from feeds I choose to add in
3. Users would see maybe say, a list - my feed and the titles of others - and would be able to click on any to load up that content
^^^I can do this no problem^^^
4. I would like any user to add a custom feed that only they can see and manage
The whole thing would be like a mini say, google reader - but more focussed on the market im aiming at
Sorry if I have complicated things with two much detail here - I guess in the end I really would like to be pointed in the right direction (CAN I create something that allows registered users to add their own feeds)
Thank you for your time, I hope somebody can answer this.

You may want to checkout
You may want to checkout activitystream module, which allows users to add one or more rss feeds to their account and create nodes from feed items. Actually, users can also add other things like Fb, Flickr, etc.
Not sure about your other requirements, but you can use Views to list any of the created feed items in whatever way you want.
So if I used the
So if I used the activitystream module I could use views to spit each stream item into say, its parent item as a link in a list?
Eg.
CustomBlog1
CustomBlog2
Flickr
CustomBlog3
Users could then click these and load just content belonging to that link?

You can also let users set up feeds with the http://drupal.org/project/views module (for actually creating the feed) and the http://drupal.org/project/flag module (for allowing users to tag nodes as belonging to a feed. You could also use the http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue module for adding nodes to feed queues (allows more control of the order of the items).
