Superfeedr's tumbling!
“ SiloZippr SiloZippr aims to be a push-based realtime newsreader. It can combine various timelines into a single one. And if you’ve read the news, you simply delete them from the database. No need to build another silo… ”
“ The hackers and engineers of Y Combinator are doing what hackers and engineers do to any industry, they’re efficiently and ruthlessly disrupting the traditional model of venture capital and are going to destroy far more more wealth for their contemporaries than they create for themselves, as broadband did to entertainment, Craigslist did to newspapers, and Amazon did to traditional retailers. This is what outsiders, by definition, do. ”
“ And of course it’s good news that Wordpress is embracing RSS fully, as a way to connect reading and writing. It’s what I wish Twitter and Facebook had done from the beginning. They said it wasn’t possible. It’s good to see that Matt & Co didn’t fall for that. ”
“ Our feed checking mechanism at RSS Hero was built using Resque so that we could fetch multiple feeds and check them (making sure they are a feed). Then to subscribe with Superfeedr if successful. ”
“ And for real-time feed parsing of all the 3rd party news and content, our PubSubHubbub provider of choice is @Superfeedr ”
“ Superfeedr Add-on This addon allows you to interact with Superfeedr’s API and receive realtime RSS feed notifications. If you’re application needs to grab some content from a 3rd party site through their RSS feeds, this add-on will make that easy for you. ”
“ On one end Twitter tries to sell their [public] data to Google (and others) at an outrageous price, and on the other end they complain that it’s not sufficiently represented in google’s SERPs? Seems a bit contradictory to me. However, yes, I am worried that eventually Google will favor their own properties against competing services, which is why again, said services should implement open protocols because that would force Google to either say they’re against the open web [flat], or just consider all web sites equally. ”
Picplum + ifttt = Happiness
Want to automatically add photos to your Picplum account when you post photos to other services? You can use the service ifttt (short for if this then that). It lets you create triggers and then do something when that happens. We have started seeing Picplum users making ifttt “recipes” for Picplum and other services like Flickr, Tumblr and Instagram.
For more explanation about what ifttt is all about, Semil Shah wrote a great post.
