Dr. Myspace – Create RSS Feeds From Myspace Artist Tour Dates

If you haven’t read my post on using PHP and Simple HTML DOM parser to scrape artist tour dates off myspace then check that out first seeing as this post starts where that one ended. I’ve received countless emails and noticed in my Google Analytics a large percentage of visitors reach my site by searching for Myspace RSS feeds. Myspace Artist Tour Dates in RSS format to be more precise. I’ve had this idea for quite some time but never created it. Tonight I spent about 4 hours putting together what I’d like to introduce as the first version of Dr. Myspace. Built specifically to allow you to create RSS feeds from Myspace artist tour dates. It’s extremely simple in it’s architecture but extremely useful at the same time.
