BlogBridge aggregator hits 1.0BlogBridge aggregator hits 1.0BlogBridge aggregator hits 1.0 04/12/2005 11:06 AM BlogBridge, the aggregator I've been using for a few months in beta, has gone to 1.0. There are a few things to like about it, not least of which is that it's a free, open source project done by someone I know well and trust 100%, Pito Salas. Blogbridge is a client, but it stores your info on a server so you can use it on multiple machines. It tries to help you discover new weblogs by noting links in your feeds. You can rate your feeds and this somehow magically gets fed into a community rating system. (I'm not...

Aggregator inside aggregatorAggregator inside aggregator 09/21/2004 10:57 PM You know whenever people post screenshots of emulators, how it can be weird to see Windows running on a Mac? (Even weirder if you actually use an emulator, until you get used to it.) Here’s a similar side effect of having embedded a browser in NetNewsWire. (Click for full-size screen shots.)   Even though it’s odd, there’s actually a point to it—we discovered that some people use multiple aggregators. One for fun stuff and one for work, that kind of thing. If one is browser-based and the other embeds a browser, then, well, hey, you’ve got something like the above. BlogBridge 1.0 (Default branch)BlogBridge 1.0 (Default branch) 04/11/2005 03:05 PM BlogBridge is a new kind of Blog reader. It is designed to allow non-technical users to discover, follow, and enjoy literally hundreds of RSS feeds without losing their minds. Changes: There have been numerous improvements from the most recent beta, including new features, performance improvements, and bugfixes. Drag'n'Drop support, suggesting feeds, ratings, community tagging, rich rendering of articles, powerful grouping, sorting and filtering, extremely fast and powerful feeds discovery, synchronization between several PCs, multi-standard RSS 0.9x/1.0/2.0, Atom 0.3, OPML, and more.

"MP3Blogs Aggregator""MP3Blogs Aggregator" 07/19/2004 08:24 PM NewsGator: Beyond the AggregatorNewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator 07/03/2004 09:23 PM Why Did We Invest in NewsGator?: Here's a post from a venture capitalist about why he invested in NewsGator.
He makes a good point — NewsGator has really extended past Outlook. They started with that, and the Outlook plug-in is what they're most well-known for, but I just wrapped up 30 days with Newsgator Online Services (NOS), and I can tell you that they've deftly transcended the aggregator. While working with NOS, I got the...feeling, that news and information was just out there, everywhere, and it was up to me how I wanted to receive it. They have options to push information to about any device, on any platform. I've never felt more saturated by news in my life than during those 30 days. Information was everywhere — so much so that I stopped thinking in terms of this aggreagtor or that protocol. I was just swimming in information, and the method in which I chose to receive it was almost incidental. Petty, even.

I'm also trying to keep up with current events, as are you I'm sure. Since CNN isn't providing free, live video feeds, I'm in search of others, but Andy Rhinehart and the Spartanbarg Herald-Journal are doing their part by providing an RSS feed of war-related content from the Associated Press.

Dean AggregatorDean Aggregator 01/23/2004 02:21 PM Mike Muegel, a Dean supporter, has put together a very cool little tool that aggregates blogs related to the Dean campaign. It sits in your system tray and pulls in entries from a whole bunch o' sites, and lets you cycle through them one at a time. In my experience with it over the past few weeks, it's been very well-behaved, updating itself cleanly. Desktop Dean is free, of course. You could probably talk to Mike about having him do a version for some other topic you or your business cares about...... Yahoo Re-aggregatorYahoo Re-aggregator 01/23/2004 01:23 AM After a false start earlier this month, My Yahoo now has an RSS aggregator. When the module appeared on my Yahoo and I complained about it, I was informed by Yahoo employees that it was a bug that caused the pre-beta module to show up on some My Yahoo pages. It wasn’t an intentional marketing effort, but the buzz created by the snafu didn’t hurt Yahoo’s cause. The module isn’t yet available on the standard list of My Yahoo modules. To add it you’ll need to go to add.my.yahoo.com/rss. Bayesian AggregatorBayesian Aggregator 12/02/2003 08:47 AM In a comment, Kevin Jordan writes: 348North News is a normal aggregator in much of the way you think of it. However, it allows me to identify keywords or themes that it puts together into phrases — and then matches up the phrases with like articles. Like a cross between Google News and Daypop (but that makes it sound much more complex than it is). If you want to see an "interests" based summary for me, check out the Phrase Index. I use fairly general keywords so as not to miss out on the future items. I haven't tried... Another RSS Aggregator for PalmsAnother RSS Aggregator for Palms 06/17/2004 12:27 AM

Yahoo AggregatorYahoo Aggregator 01/07/2004 06:17 PM Yahoo is beta testing an RSS Aggregator that integrates into the My Yahoo service, but their advertising of it has fallen flat. Because I choose the contents of a My Yahoo page, I have a sense of ownership of the page. Personalized pages tend to evoke that feeling. So imagine my surprise when I open My Yahoo today and find that there’s a new content module for RSS added to the top of the page. I wasn’t sure whether to feel excited or violated. It’s great that Yahoo is embracing RSS, but they messed with my page. Nevertheless I tried testing it, but when trying to add feeds or search for feeds, I received a message saying that I didn’t have access. Curious to see if I’d get the same message if I tried removing the module, I hit the remove button. Now it’s gone and there doesn’t seem to be a way to add it back. It might seem strange that I’m complaining that I can’t get something back when I didn’t want it in the first place, but it goes back to that sense of ownership. I know that content module exists, but I can’t add it to my page. ANT - video bl0gging aggregatorANT - video bl0gging aggregator 02/05/2005 09:12 PM

The desired result is that the title of every entry should be displayed as Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn. This is not meant to be comprehensive, in particular, it focuses only on one encoding (utf-8, which is guaranteed to be supported by any conformant XML parser), and doesn't do mode base64.

Anticipating the Aggregator ShakesAnticipating the Aggregator Shakes 03/11/2003 10:45 AM Aargh! It no longer matters if I have high-speed internet access this week at the Computers in Libraries conference because the laptop isn't back from being repaired anyway. Hopefully I can get the Stowaway keyboard working for my Clie or else I'll have to resort to - gasp - paper for my conference notes. How archaic. So that means no blogging or news aggregator and minimal email Tuesday through Friday. I'm actually going to have to speak about RSS on Thursday without having seen any for three days! I'm not sure what's more pathetic - me at a libraries & technology conference without internet access, the fact that none of the hotels around Dupont Circle offer high-speed internet access (let alone WiFi), or the fact that the CIL conference is held at a hotel that doesn't offer any type of high-speed access. So if you see me at the conference and I'm twitching, it's just a symptom of withdrawal.

I love the idea of providing the reader and even pre-populating it with feeds relevant to the intended audience, but I hate the idea of some company monetizing it. I'd much rather get a grant and have libraries provide this information-centric software. We're in the "information distribution" business, too, except we're interested in people getting information without strings attached.
