RSSBus.com - RSS Feeds for Data Sharing

RSSBus stands for "Really Simple Service Bus." It is a collection of tools and services that simplify the process of creating RSS Feeds with rich data extensions, like databases. While most people assume RSS can only be used to disseminate news and blogs, RSSBus takes the RSS capabilities to its limits and transforms feed data into a variety of formats such as Word document, Excel spreadsheet, HTML page or a source code file. The site is managed by one of the most successful software companies in the world, /n software, and is committed to creating enterprise-class communication, security, and e-business components.

With RSSBus, our goal is to build general purpose software that connects or has the ability to easily connect to every system, data, or information source of any significance. Our core focus is to enable connectivity as simply and as easily as possible, and we believe our experience building networking software components and connectivity toolkits for the past decade, and the software assets we have created in the process, give us a unique advantage. In many ways, RSSBus is a direct continuation of our work of the past 10 years, and a conscious effort to build upon the knowledge we have gained about how developers think and what they expect from makers of reusable software building blocks.

This site appears to have great niche value: any and all software developers who make a living from creating software components would benefit from the data sharing capabilities of this site. While it may not be of value to the average internet user, it clearly is one of the fundamental building blocks that let the average users benefit from the site. Further, given the enormous success of the parent company, the site appears committed to excellence.

This site appears to be in a league of their own - is there a competitor who offers this same service or do they have a corner on the market?
