Echo RSS Feed Post Generator Plugin for WordPress

#1 WordPress RSS Feed Aggregator Plugin for AutoBlogging

In Greek mythology, Echo (from ἦχος (ēchos), meaning “sound”) was an Oread who fell in love with Zeus. She loved spreading the word about her love. Like Echo, this plugin will automatically “speak” on your blog with rich content blog posts using RSS feed sources.

What Can You Do With This Plugin?

Echo RSS Feed Post Generator Plugin for WordPress is a breaking edge RSS feed based post generator autoblogging plugin that uses the SimplePie API to turn your website into a autoblogging or even a money making machine!
You can automatically generate posts based on a set of predefined rules. These rules can generate posts from:

• Any blog that has a public RSS Feed available. All RSS feed versions are supported, from 0.9 to 2.0.

Also, you can automatically generate unlimited number of custom RSS feeds. These rules can generate RSS feeds from:

• Your latest posts published on your blog.

So, the plugin’s main features are:

• RSS Feeds -> Blog Posts
• Blog Posts -> RSS Feeds

Two for the price of one!
