| Due to a synchronization almost all my clippings moved to Newsgator Online, so i cannot make a backup from FeedDemon. Newsgator is to close 31 august. How can I export or backup up my clippings at Newsgator?

UPDATE as of 8/10/2009
You can actually turn your already clipped articles into an RSS feed and subscribe to it via Google Reader or any other RSS/Atom aggregator.
In order to do this follow these steps:
- Sign into the Online Reader and locate the "Clippings" Folder from the list of folders on the left
- Select the Clipping Folder
- Scroll to the very bottom of your clipped articles and find the option to expose your clippings (See attachment)
- Check the box to share your clippings
- Copy the URL provided and subscribe to it via Google Reader or the application you plan on using to read aggregated feeds
- You will need to add '&limit=any number' in order to get all the clippings to display (e.g. http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/svc/ClippingsRSS.aspx?uid=1234&limit=50000)
Side Note: if you have nested folders and want to keep your clippings organized you will need to do steps 2-6 for each.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: keep in mind you will have to manually move these articles AKA clippings to shared items, star the article, tag them or whatever feature is available with your chosen RSS reader because after the 31st the clipping feeds will no longer be available, thus the URL used to turn clippings into a feed will NO longer be accessible.

Thank you Frank for your quick reply and the RSS solution.
However this will only show the 30 latest clippings, how do I backup 500 items in one folder?
I try to copy the clippings url in Google Reader, but i get the message undefined.

If you don't mind providing me your username I will tinker around with this and see if there's anything we can do without development work.

I have 14 folders and over 1600 clippings. I too would like to be able to get these into Google Reader. I've asked about it on the FeedDemon forum without much luck either.
I've invested a lot of time into my clippings and really do not want to lose them ...
P.S. My forum username is my newsgator username.

Not to pile on, but I'm in a similar situation:- I have nearly 400 items in 20+ Clippings folders, which I don't want to lose.
- I'm willing to perform a semi-manual migrate operation 14 times, but not 400 times.
- The URL copy workaround suggested above did not work for me, either.
Thanks, would appreciate any advice you could offer. You could run a report on your clippings server database to see how many people are in a similar situation...? - Steve

My forum username is my newsgator username. And I use another account that username is paulvanveeendaal
I've over 20.000 clippings. It would be days work to copy and paste all of it. Just a simple export function to csv etc would be handy.

| I have 8 folders with a few thousand clipped items. So any help in keeping those around would be extremely helpful. I also enjoy using the RSS streams that are attached to them and have used FeedDemon for over a year now to keep individuals up on top stories. The only way I see to do that on Feed Demon now is with the Google Reader "Tags" feature. So in FeedDemon I can "tag" and item and then publically share it in a new RSS feed. This is all well and good, but can you please give drag and drop functionality to this?!! Or better yet pressure Google Reader to incorporate our cherished "clippings" folders in a better manner. Thanks for the help!
