Ok this is not the full piece of your request, but here’s a quick start:
http://shapeways.com/feed/rss

You should be able to use any RSS reader to grab it I tested it in Google Reader and a generic PHP rss parser.

Next step: Thinking about #1 + #3 and how we can make those happen.

@Brad, we would be interested in a few different options:
1- A WordPress widget, like the “Recent Tweets” on the right, you could supply “Recent Designs from Shapeways Feed”
2- An API, RSS or JS widget that could be a full page replication of your feed.
3- Like YouTube or Vimeo, an embed iframe code snippet that we could include in a blog post and has the details for a specific design. In the above post we just pasted photos in. But an iframe could be interactive and have links embedded.

Thanks!

Thanks for the post!! How do you guys want to embed the feed? A Javascript widget? Or is RSS preferred? Orrrr do you want to go all advanced and see an API?

(perhaps the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!)
