Hacking into myspace with rss feeds
Published April 24th, 2007 in Geekery Tags: myspace, rss, widget, widgets. Scoopit Share it del.icio.us |Digg it |Furl |Netscape |reddit |StumbleUpon | ScoopitA little while ago i wrote a post about my efforts to provide a good easy way for people to host the Greenpeace action rss feed on their website.
The problem was that while we’ve got our “Really Simple Syndication” feeds set up, it’s not always really simple for people to use them. So with Feed2JS I’ve provided a more simple way for people to grab our feed for their website.
But then of course I got a request for some way to display it in myspace where javascript is not allowed. This is a big problem because let’s face it - a large number of people with their own websites are myspace or blogger users.
So I’ve had a scan around and came across a great little flash rss widget from http://www.thespringbox.com/ that works beautifully in myspace.
You can grab the code over at the Greenpeace site or make your own custom version

Greenpeace action rss feed
Actions you can take now
the only problem with the springboard widget is that myspace still disables the javascript necessary for people to go to the individual posts (or even the blog at all) through the widget. i’ve had one of these on my myspace for a while, and have to “frame” it as a blog teaser with a standard link at the bottom of the widget. anyway to “hack” around the javascript prohibition (in a way that won’t get an account suspended or banned)?
I’ve got it working on the Greenpeeace myspace page ok.
There is a special myspace code snippet.
Uh…better check again. Tom’s been patching holes to stop spammers.
Thats a pretty nifty tool for hosting RSS feeds, I will have to try and put it on my Myspace profile and see how it works. I’ll see if I run into any problems, as Tom and the myspace admin have been making a lot of security changes lately on Myspace.
Where I\’m at they have a block against myspace and I want to get on my page and i need a code to get around the blockage..
Please help me out. ASAP
Thank You. Cordero
