You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed!

In a recent email it was explained that NARCIS, National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System now offers RSS-feeds for search results, or even a widget you can embed in your website or blog I think it is interesting to keep up what is entered into NARCIS by or about the UMCG. So the search "universitair medisch centrum groningen" OR UMCG ", gave me 101 results divided in 6 tab-results Every set of results can be saved as RSS feed, embedded or added to your Favourites, EXCEPT the "ALL Sources". I tried to merge these 5 rss-feeds into one via Pipes.Yahoo.com  and it seemed to work. You can see the result on the UMCG Web Presence Scan Public Page ; Publications Tab

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .
