RSS: The Latest Feed by Judith Wusteman
http://www.ucd.i e/wusteman/lht/wusteman-rss.html

Abstract

The number of library-related RSS and Atom applications is increasing daily. But, as yet, the formats and technology involved are far from stable. This article looks at the current state of the field, discusses future developments and considers implications for the library. This has been added to my Bots, Blogs and News Aggregators presentation.

"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
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 .

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 you


Feed you 11/25/2003 10:24 PM

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: 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?

Blue feed

Purple feed

Orange feed

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

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.

I combined a couple of examples from the book to create Feed Poster, a program that checks a list of newsfeeds, composes a blog post listing the items from those newsfeeds posted in the last X days. You could use it, for example, to post a summary of your del.icio.us links at the end of each day. I considered using David Czarnecki's Java API for del.icio.us, which looks awesome, but I ended up using a simple newsfeed parser and blog client instead.

Atom Logo

A few people mentioned that my rss feeds were broken even though they passed through the validator without errors, so I mangled them a bit tonight and also added an atom feed while I was at it. Atom is the result of the rss flamewars a few months ago and, while I couldn't care less about XML, atom does appear to have a saner format. I also tried out Shrook since I've not been entirely happy with Netnewswire and found that I really like it much better, especially the iTunes style of organisation and navigation of the feeds.

+1 for Feed URI Scheme


+1 for Feed URI Scheme 01/22/2004 02:12 AM

On the issue of whether to introduce a new URI scheme to allow one-click feed subscription, in spite of W3C Technical Architecture Group's position against new URI schemes, I am adding my vote to Dare Obasanjo's proposal which is already in fairly wide use.  While I understand W3C TAG's position, a less than ideal solution is better than expecting the world to accept the right solution.

If you are unfamiliar with this issue, Jon Udell has a post with links and words.

Update:

I should note that neither schemes address the need to support multiple aggregators at the same time.  I thought about writing a general feed subscription management plugin for IE but haven't found the time yet.
