I'm wondering, which is better (in the sense of being easy to implement and good for the user) for each of these features: Ads- iAd or something else Sharing articles- Socialize, Sharekit, or something else Thanks Title Comments Hi, There are two things I'm looking to add to my app in a future update- a way to share articles from RSS feeds and ads.

I've tried, and still trying, but I haven't got to any hope yet. Comments RSS... Ah, what we've all been wanting. Whoever makes an RSS plugin, will get thousands.

I can't move my app over to BT 2.0 until that's made since it's the main feature. Comments Yes! I need someone to make the RSS plugin.

It worked for me last September. Please try and let us know? -- Niraj Comments I thought the RSS Plugin from http://www.BuzzTouchMods.com works just fine in a BT 2.0 app?

Low-effort method -- within the RSS feed, provide a blank image and a blank thumbnail just to make sure you are getting the value from it without expending too much upfront effort. -- Niraj Comments Expertise needed method -- You can change the code to customize to your liking.

But that is living dangerously due to human errors creeping nearby at the midnight hours! Instead, you will need to use your own Self-Hosted Server or use the BuzzTouchMods.com service. I recommend option #2 until you outgrow that service. Hit up MrDavid for his guidance. -- Niraj Comments Oh forgot to tell you, if you decide to use that RSS Plugin, it is not hosted on BuzzTouch.com You can still wing it with a combo of BuzzTouch.com and a cut-paste-modify of the BT_config.txt file.

I suspect the BuzzTouch staff s way too overloaded to review and host the custom plugin.
