Convert any Web Page to an RSS Feed
Found this, through a post in Robert Scoble’s blog. Feed43 scrapes web pages and generates RSS feeds. Feed43 seems to have disappeared. So I updated this entry to remove Feed43 info and substitute it with DapperFox.
DapperFox is a Firefox extention that sits next to the RSS icon in your browser.
Whenever you visit a website DapperFox will show you RSS feeds that other people have created, as well as allow you to create a new feed to share with the community. This is perfect when a site does not have its own RSS feed, or when its feed doesn’t meet your needs.
This is great. This will make more information available through RSS. About a year ago, we released a version of InfoMinder that lets you track a page for changes and get the change alerts (portions of the page changed) as RSS feeds. This employs some what similar technology of scraping HTML, spidering and change detection.
from where can we find Feed43 engine please tell me

It seems to have moved. After a bit of googling, I located it here:

Thanks for pointing it out. I will update the link in the blog post too.

Sorry. Looks as if they are gone. The link I provided does not work either. I found this while Googling for “web page to rss”

Tested it and it works fine.
Here is another (I have not used this):

I updated the post since there seem to be others still accessing it. I added DapperFox, a firefox extension. It works.
There are some features I would like to see. They probably exist already. I will explore a bit and post.
