Is it exists any "rss hosting" with API for creating feeds

I am creating a desktop app that will create some reports. I want to export these reports as RSS or ATOM feeds. I can easily create feeds with Rome lib for Java. But I have no idea how to spread them. I thought about embedding httpd into my app, but it's bad idea, because a computer can be behind NAT or turned off.

I need some kind of "proxy" server, where can I push my feeds, and clients will be able to pull content from that server.

I can probable write server side app fore this, but first I'd like to find out if some dedicated solution is available for problems like this.

I was also thinking about using some blogging platform and using its API. What do you think about this approach?

One more t开发者_如何学运维hing I have to consider when choosing platform ability to handle lot of updates. Sometimes desktop app will be shut down but when it will be running, it generates quite a lot of updates.

Check out Google's feedburner.

EDIT

Here's a better link for their help / faq. You'll still need to use some service to generate your feed, but it won't have to handle a heavy load. Feedburner will poll your feed every 30 minutes and their servers will act as a proxy for your feed. As far as how to publish the feed for Feedburner to read, I would recommend writing a service to handle this, even more considering that you getting the data for the feeds from a number of desktop applications, and it'll probably be easier to write a custom service to interface with them, store your data in a DB, and publish feeds than it would be to try and modify a blogging service for this purpose.

I don't know why I didn't think of this when I first answered your question, but Yahoo has a service called Yahoo Pipes which allows you could use to generate feeds from various kinds of inputs. I'm not sure how well it would scale but it might work for you.
