This Freebase app automatically generates an RSS feed from any query. The resulting RSS feeds are Media RSS and Geo RSS compatible. Interesting examples of how to use these feeds are listed below.

 Piclens

Piclens is a cool 3D photo viewer which takes a Media RSS feed as input.

Here are some examples of links which generate a Media RSS feed using a MQL query and feed it into the Piclens viewer: Females, Males, Beatles Albums, Podcasts, Countries, Visual Arts. (Note: these links do not work in the Acre appeditor, you must open this page in a new window.)

Here are instructions on how to embed a Piclens link on your website: 

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://lite.piclens.com/current/piclens_optimized.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function ShowPicLensQuery(query)
    {
        var feed = "http://rss.avh.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/feed?image=required&query=" + escape(query);
        if (PicLensLite.hasClient()) {
            PicLensLite.start({"feedUrl":feed});
        } else {
            alert("Please install PicLens first!");
            window.open("http://www.piclens.com", "_new");
        }
    }
    </script>
    <a href="javascript://females"
       onclick="ShowPicLensQuery(this.title);"
       title="(type:/people/person,gender:Female)">Female Persons</a>
Or try your own PicLens query:

 GeoRSS

Here is an example of how a MQL query can generate a GeoRSS feed which contains longitude and latitudes for each entry. The results are displayed using Google maps.
For example: US States, Dutch Provinces, Museums, Big Cities, California Counties Freebase Users Hangliding Sites
