Generate RSS feeds on the fly with Feed43

Working as a freelancer, I have to monitor job boards, twitter keywords and other news channels so that I’m the first to know when someone needs a Rails developer for a contract project in Montreal or elsewhere. I manage all this information through RSS feeds with the help of Google Reader.
On some rare occasion, I stumble on a job listing site that has no support for RSS feed. This is the case for the Working With Rails job board. Apparently I’m not the only one complaining about the lack of a RSS feed for the job board.
I did some Google searches and found Feed43, a nice little web app that lets you build a RSS feed for any pages on the web. It’s free, intuitive and fairly easy to build your own RSS feed if you’re a little tech savvy. If you’re also looking for Rails gigs, feel free to use my generated WWR job board feed!
