It seems that Google Reader recently changed their UI to show the number of unread items in a feed when you mouse over it in the feed list. That’s great news! Now I can uninstall the greasemonkey script I wrote to fix this myself. Basically, the problem was that if the title [...]
Looks great! I upgraded the version on my phone and it kept my bookmarks (whew!). There doesn’t seem to be a way to import your feeds from an opml file, so that’s a bummer. More details from Arve.
I haven’t visited my Gregarius install in days - I feel like a traitor, but Reader is too well done! As Scoble says, Google Reader is getting really good. They do need to add: reorder feeds with drag and drop, easily post to my blog with a linked quote from Google Reader items [...]
I was really optimistic about FeedLounge at first, but they never addressed two of my major issues: no cell phone view and slow servers. Awesome interface, though. More on Alex’s blog and the FeedLounge blog. Scott: Consider open sourcing it! Alex: To add to your arsenal of cool products (Tasks, Tasks Pro, etc), consider building [...]
The Gregarius dev team announced the 3 new features that will define their next release. Multi-User, managed installations, localization and a new feed parser. Multi-User will bring a ton of new developers, because Gregarius will then, hopefully, be adopted for commercial, hosted services - with freely available source code so the hosters will pay no [...]
I wish every negative comment about Dave Winer and Robert Scoble was accompanied with little symbols that indicate whether or not the person making the comment appreciates Dave for his work on blogging and RSS and Robert for his work on business blogging and Channel 9. That way, I could ignore all the irrational people [...]
I’ve been reading Dave’s blog for a LONG time. Through Dave’s blog, I’ve read a fair amount of Rogers Cadenhead’s stuff, too. I know that they have a long history of friendship and collaboration.
Both Rogers and Dave are thinkers, leaders and builders.
The recent dispute is a bummer. Not because these two guys [...]
According to Richard in the comments to this post:
The next version of Newsgator Outlook Edition (currently in Beta 2) [has a feature called] “Test Drive” [which] allows you to subscribe for x days, then an alert pops up to tell you its expired - either kill the alert, subscribe fully, or another test drive.
This is [...]
[Update: Danny Ayers has some thoughts. ]
TailRank’s Filter:
Upload an OPML file (your blogroll, for instance)
Now, when you choose the filtered view on TailRank, you’ll only see TailRanked items that have X number (you pick the number) of links from feeds in your OPML file.
TailRank also gives you an RSS feed for this data.
I used to [...]
I updated the Gregarius Frames theme to work with the new theme model that kdz checked in. I left the old version of the files in the zip, so the theme will still work with older versions of Gregarius. Let me know if you encounter any problems.
The new model makes it possible to use the [...]
Both Robert and Alex recently posted about bloggers who are using partial content feeds and how it can be frustrating to the reader. I agree completely and I’ll give you a real world example of how it can be a danger to your business.
Gabe of Penny-Arcade posted today about PAX, their yearly conference, and a [...]
FeedLounge was having trouble with their application’s responsiveness. They put up a fix on Friday and it’s now very smooth. Great job, guys!
It appears that, even though I ping Technorati with every update to my blog, it’s missing the last 60 days worth of posts. Oh Brother. And, do you know how I noticed? That’s right, brrreeeport.
AggCompare is moving along (slowly) and it’s time to start collecting feedback and contributors for its sister site, AggWatch. While AggCompare is a place for the community to document the specs of the current crop of Feed Readers, AggWatch is intended to be a place where posts from passionate Aggregator users are collected.
For [...]
… but he seems to be semi-inspired by Gregarius, itself.
