Customized Amazon Feeds and NewsGator
April 1st, 2004 by gregr
Ok, Gordon posted this about 3 weeks ago - so I’m a little behind. Very cool, though - he’s using the ability of NewsGator to map custom RSS extensions to columns in Outlook:
NewsGator can render custom columns. This allows you to sort a folder by your custom field; price, in this case.In order to support this, you can download and import custom field mappings. In the Options dialog, on the Rendering pane. Press the “Column Mappings” button, then “Import”, and select the field mappings file you downloaded.
Click through the link to see the picture of this - there’s a price column in Outlook for a custom Amazon feed, fully sortable and searchable.
Very nice!

Hi Greg, the links don’t work for me, but I think the idea of RSS extended attributes is great. Would love to see if developed. I blogged on the topic here http://radio.weblogs.com/0135175/2004/05/29.html#a74

Hmm, looks like Gordon’s links are dead…but you definitely got the gist of it, as I can see from your own post!
