Brightwurks Personalized Feed Recommendations with SuggestRSS November 6, 2009 at 1:40 pm Recently a service popped up that is really great for finding personalized feed recommendations based on feeds that you are already subscribed to. It's called SuggestRSS. Simply upload your OPML file (see below for instructions on getting it from Feed My Inbox), and their engine will recommend other blogs and feeds you are likely to enjoy. Here is a little sample of what it looks like: How to get your OPML file from Feed My Inbox Login to your account Click on Tools in the main account menu Click the link to "Export your feeds as an OPML file", and it will download to your computer Currently SuggestRSS is free to use, a great little tool for finding other interesting stuff to subscribe to!   This email was sent to 4ndr1fm@gmail.com.  Manage Your Account Don't want to receive this feed any longer?

Brightwurks New Feature: RSS Cloud Support October 26, 2009 at 7:34 pm In the world of RSS feeds, one thing missing from the beginning has been support for real-time notifications. Until recently, any feed reader (Feed My Inbox in our case) has to manually go check a feed for updates on a regular basis. That is, unless it is being notified through a pinging service. We've been testing "real-time" emails on Feed My Inbox for a while. Anyone that sends us an email (help(at)feedmyinbox.com) and requests to receive their updates in real-time rather than once per day can try it. The problem is that our system only gets around to checking a feed roughly every 3-4 hours for updates, so it is not truly real-time. Over the last several months, two extensions to the RSS protocol have been made available, which allow real-time "pushing" of new feed content to third party services (like ours). They are RSS Cloud and PubSubHubbub. We plan on supporting both, but decided to start with RSS Cloud. We deployed support for RSS Cloud a couple of weeks ago. Already over 2,000 feeds in our system are cloud-enabled, with that number growing every day. Cloud-enabled feeds will "push" new feed content to our service immediately, allowing the updates sent to subscribers to be truly real-time. Dave Winer is the guy behind RSS Cloud and literally wrote the book on the RSS specification almost nine years ago. Wordpress is the first major supporter, and all 7.5 million blogs hosted on Wordpress.com are already cloud-enabled. If you self-host a version of Wordpress, there's a plugin to help. How do I know if my feed is supported? Look at your feed's source code. Cloud-enabled feeds have a tag like this at the top: <cloud domain="rpc.rsscloud.org" port="5337" path="/rsscloud/pleaseNotify" registerProcedure="" protocol="http-post" /> Can I implement this into my feed(s)? Yes, but doing so is rather technical in nature. Here are a few resources to get you going: Implementor's Guide to RSS Cloud W3 Schools Documentation RSS Cloud Wordpress Plugin We're so excited to bring these protocols to you, as we feel it's a huge step in the evolution of RSS (and Atom) feeds.   This email was sent to 4ndr1fm@gmail.com.  Manage Your Account Don't want to receive this feed any longer?
