xFruits: Do stuff with RSS
Thanks to a funny name, lack of descriptive text, and somewhat muddled English, it took me awhile to figure out what xFruits is.

Currently it has four functions: One lets you aggregate multiple RSS feeds into a single one, another (I think) republishes an RSS feed to a blog-like web page, another will take an RSS feed and turn it into a mobile-friendly web page, and the last will publish an RSS feed of all e-mail sent to an @xfruits.com e-mail address. We've seen all of these functions done before, but xFruits has the distinction of rolling them all up into one login. It also has a social aspect: The xFruiters page lists other xFruit users and what xFruits they've set up, along with the obligatory tag cloud. Judging from the front page, xFruit has a lot more functionality coming up, like "RSS to PDF," "RSS to Mail," and "File to RSS."
