Similar to Grazr, SpringWidgets’ RSS reader allows you to embed an RSS reader in your Web page. According to the company “this widget is the staple of our platform. Read all your feeds right here with this one widget – Supported feeds are OPML, RSS, RDF, ATOM. Watch your favorite Podcast in the embedded Video Player on the Desktop or publish your own video playlist to your site for others to view!” The first example used a flickr feed, the second a podcast, and the third uses an OPML file. The size of the embedded reader is customizable so I’ve made each one a different size to demonstrate this. As to why the OPML version is showing “undefined” I have no idea as I am using a valid OPML file.
