Extension

"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension 09/20/2004 10:22 AM

When Firefox add ed RSS support, I had mixed reactions. On the one hand, I was excited by the boost RSS would receive by being supported in a popular browser. But on the other hand, for obvious reasons I wasn't wild about how Firefox built RSS into the browser without enabling users to choose an external RSS reader.

So, I was glad when several FeedDemon customers talking about building an extension to enable FeedDemon to take advantage of the new Firefox RSS features.

Michael Koziarski rose to the challenge and created F eed Your Reader, a Firefox extension that enables you to subscribe to feed in FeedDemon - or any other RSS reader that supports the feed: // protocol. Which means that even though the extension was designed with FeedDemon in mind, it's not specific to FeedDemon. Initial tests show that it also works with NetNewsWire on the Mac.

Once this extension is installed, you'll see an additional "FYR" icon in Firefox's status bar right next to the existing RSS icon. Clicking the FYR icon displays a menu of auto-discovered feeds, and clicking one of these feeds will display FeedDemon's "New Channel" wizard to subscribe to it.

Details on Feed Your Reader are h ere, and the project page is here. If you're viewing this in Firefox, the download link to the XPI (extension) is here .

For online newspapers, news aggregators like Google News are a mixed blessing: They can generate big traffic, but maybe they're also stealing a bit of thunder. Some newspapers are about to fight back with services of their own. By John Gartner.

Wow, that's what I call feedback! It's a shame pretty much everyone hates the new design but I like it so it stays. I've taken a few tips though and tweaked the link colours a bit, as well as making a few other small changes such as a darker green for the header and a 1em margin around the page.

In an attempt to satiate the voracious appetite for RSS displayed by some of my visitors I've set up two new feeds: Blog comments and Blogmarks. I don't use an aggregator myself so I'd appreciate feedback on how well they work. I've also put together a blogmarks archive - no search engine yet, but it's on the list.

Feed 0.6.4

Feed 0.6.4 04/08/2005 12:00 PM
Feed is a RSS and Atom news reader, with the latest version released in February 2005. The developer wrote this application because all of the existing freeware RSS readers were more of a "hybrid between iTunes and a web browser," and he wanted something that was more like an email client. The application is described as being "simple and familiar" including a single window interface, and it lives up to that claim. Because Feed is designed to work like a mail program, individual articles are displayed directly in Feed. The latest version of Feed now features drag and drop support, allowing the user to drag text and URL clippings directly into the Feed drawer from any application. Adding links from other applications is simple, and any feed or article can be dragged from Feed to another application that accepts Text or URL clippings. The application also features audio notifications allowing the user to choose any of the built in sounds to play when a new item becomes available. Articles can be bookmarked in the feed list with a simple command or by dragging the link to the Feed drawer, allowing articles to be grouped for later reading or to save an article indefinitely. The user has the option to completely customize the way feeds are managed and displayed with the drag and drop interface. Feeds can be grouped into folders and then display all articles in the group together. The application currently supports all versions of Atom and RSS allowing the importing and exporting of existing RSS feed subscriptions in the industry-standard OPML format. System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3 or higher Pros: User-friendly Drag and drop Free Cons: No help available If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Feed: protocol

Feed: protocol 02/01/2005 08:54 PM
In Reall y Simple Subscription, FeedDemon developer Nick Bradbury suggests using the feed: protocol to make subscribing to RSS and Atom feeds easier.

I agree.

Nick also says that the solution is not perfect, and I agree with that too. But it does work and it has broad support in existing aggregators.

It’s just not used on the web that much yet. But, if it were used, we’d have really simple subscription today, since it’s already supported in so many aggregators.

(Someone will ask, “Why not use MIME types?” Answer: because aggregators need the URL of a feed, not the content, in order to subscribe.)



Sometimes I think the whole issue is just that we haven’t agreed on a graphic. Nick posted a “Feed” graphic on his post. Last year, Bryan Bell made a few: perhaps one of these would be good?







I think that orange should not be used, to avoid confusion with the orange XML graphic.

Michael Koziarski: Once you’ve installed FYR you’ll see a new Feed Icon () in the status bar, that behaves just like the live bookmarks menu. However, instead of opening the bookmarks menu, selecting an item will launch your Feed Reader. [via Nick Bradbury] Cool! Wishlist: allow an option to support http://www.bloglines.com/sub/ instead of feed: instructions on how to remove the current icon, making this a replacement instead of an addition replaceable icon - to me it makes sense to display the icon of your feed reader instead Is the source to this extension available?

How to track an RSS feed

How to track an RSS feed 08/31/2004 06:59 PM

According to the HTTP specification, RSS/Atom aggregators should obey the HTTP 301 Moved Permanently header by altering the stored subscription URL for the feed they are attempting to retrieve.

This behaviour can be used to track repeat aggregator hits to a feed, in essence the equivalent a setting a permanent cookie. The first time an aggregator hits the published feed address, a 301 header is served redirecting that aggregator to a new URL incorporating a unique ID. The aggregator permanently changes the stored subscription URL, meaning future request to that feed will carry the unique ID that was assigned the first time the feed was retrieved.

At its most innocent, this could allow people to track their number of unique subscriptions - although the value of this would be severely diluted if people started deliberately subscribing to the same redirected feed URL. I'm sure there are more insidious uses for this as well.

Maybe aggregators should prompt users when a feed has permanently moved, to prevent them from being tracked without their knowledge.

Like an RSS feed for video 04/21/2004 09:06 PM

Alan from demandmedia.net has a SMIL powered videofeed. The good part is: it addresses the scanning problem (video is hard to scan).

It works like a TV channel with a forward button: if you get tired of a particular video, just click the next >| button and you are taken to the next video within seconds. I like how he uses SMIL to add some text above the videos within Realplayer.

It's kinda like an RSS feed for video: DemandMedia SMIL Videofeed

Share Your OPML: Top 100 Feeds: If you're new to RSS or are just looking for some new feeds, Dave Winer's "Share Your OPML" site has an OPML file of the Top 100 feeds that you can download and import to your aggregator.

This site allows people to upload their OPML files (an OPML file holds the names and addresses of all the feeds you're subscribed to — go here for more information). This site then does some data analysis on all the OPML files to find out which feeds are the most popular.

So, if you want 100 really popular new feeds in your aggregator, and you don't mind running with the crowd, just download this file, import it, and start reading.
