Reading RSS with PHP - Myspace, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter

The Internet seems to be getting easier everyday. With sites like Myspace, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter, you can essentially create a full-on interactive web experience for free and with no knowledge of web design. This is great, but it limits your creativity, and it also requires your readers to remember multiple separate URLs.



On the flipside, you could reverse engineer all of these tools and create your own versions of them for use on your personal website, creating the same immersive user experience you get from using social tools, but that’s a good deal of time and effort. The learning experience of building such tools is great, but we don’t always have hundreds of hours to dedicate to rebuilding Flickr’s robust photo management. Besides, doesn’t it seem a little silly to reinvent the wheel?



So, what we’re hoping for is a way to get the best of both worlds: how can we utilize the power of Flickr on our own website without needing to dedicate a great deal of time to solving the problem?
