DevArticles: Graphical Usage Stats in
PHP 02/18/2004 09:16 AM
Making usage statistics on a web site is one of the most enjoyable things for me on the Internet. Thanks to the technology, you can see each click of each visitor, the date of the visiting, and how many seconds the user was reading your site. I use this feature to track which of my articles was read for the longest time. In this article I will show you how to store the statistics in a MySQL database, show the web stats in an HTML table and make figures based on the stats using the GD library.

According to Reuters, global shipments of digital cameras are expected to jump 39 percent this year, from 47.9 million units last year to 68.6 million units, which is actually a decrease in the adoption rates from 2002 to 2003. Sony lead the digicam market in 2003, with an 18 percent...

Aggregator inside aggregator

Aggregator 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.

New RSS News Aggregator

New RSS News Aggregator 12/05/2003 03:14 AM

Dean Aggregator

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 Aggregator

Yahoo 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.

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.

Yahoo Re-aggregator

Yahoo 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.

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...

"mNews looks quite good but perhaps quite high at $19.95- 'Sports, weather, politics, business, science, health, technology... Latest world headlines were never so easy to access on your Treo as they are now with mNews! With mNews you can download and read latest news from numerous sources of your choice from around the world right on your Treo. mNews is the RSS news reader for PalmOne Treo 600 devices. RSS news feeds is an emerging channel for delivering the news, blogs and corporate communication to the end users. All major news and information providers support RSS format which mNews can download and display.' " [PDA 24/7]

A competitor to Hand/RSS, but I still think mobile Bloglines is the way to go so that your feeds are synchronized across multiple devices.

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator

NewsGator: 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.

The misperception is that NewsGator is only an Outlook plug-in. While the most popular product from NewsGator is currently their Outlook-based aggregator, what really turned us on when we dug into NewsGator as a potential investment is NewsGator Online Services (NGOS).

Greg Reinacker's vision is much broader than simply an RSS aggregator - his goal is to provide RSS content on any device. NewsGator currently provides clients for Outlook, the Web, POP email, mobile devices (web-based and wap), and Microsoft Media Center (how cool is it to get an RSS feed on your TV?).

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.

Anticipating the Aggregator Shakes

Anticipating 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.

BlogBridge 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...

Reading Canter in an aggregator.....

Reading Canter in an aggregator..... 07/28/2004 11:08 AM

... is like watching The Matrix on a Teletype machine/printer: you not only miss the entire experience, but most of the headlines picked up by the feed are uninteresting at quick glance, whereas the stories themselves usually are pretty good. Sure, better summary style might do the trick, as Jon Udell often writes about, but that would miss the point, and the impact/speed with which worthy items appear. I used to moan about the confusing (non-existing or subtle) quoting convention, but now I've told him that I don't care anymore... where would we be if Marc Canter gave up his shoot-from-the-hip style, and increasingly-rich-media blog pages?

Thanks Marc.

Marc Eisenstadt is one of my favorite people. And not just because he bought me a headset and camera (which I haven't even used yet.)

Here is a simple set of tests for verifying that an aggregator properly handles various combinations of international characters and character references.  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.

TV News in a Postmodern World: The Busine$$ of RSS

"Want a glimpse of tomorrow? Innovators Bill French and Harry Hayes are SmartStream Alliance™ and have a product that's so compelling that news executives of every sort will be scrambling to be first in their market with it....

RSxStream is a sophisticated and ingenious software engine that takes RSS, Atom, RDF, XML, any other sort of feed or data stream, or any other content that lives on the Internet and makes it available to the desktop via a contextual reader. End users are given a state-of-the-art reader — capable of grabbing anything from live TV to music to video-on-demand to simple RSS text feeds. If it's available via the Internet (today), it can be routed through the RSxStream engine. The end users have complete control of what sources they choose, as they would with any other RSS reader. The difference is those choices are drawn indirectly, through the RSxStream software....

What's crucial to understand with this is that whoever provides the reader to the public also owns the engine, and THAT is the business end of RSS. It means advertising can be crafted into the design of the reader and delivered based on the choices, habits and interests of the end user. It's contextual advertising nirvana. This type of business currently does not exist, but it's ideal for local media outlets. Why? Because we're in the information distribution business, and getting the reader onto the public's desktops is the key to its success. Moreover, if the local media entities don't do it, somebody else will, and they will take all those ad dollars with them." [DONATA Communications, via JD on MX]

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.

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator 12/24/2004 12:58 PM

• RSS: a Shift, from What...to What?
  "He also neatly sort of answers his own question - with greater precision than I can ever muster - by saying: 'If I visit houses of content, as I seem to do on the Web, that is very different than the content as “visitor” to my house.'... What we’re seeing is the creation of personalised information hypermarkets.... Over time, you develop a rich cocktail of sources and you develop a new habit for browsing information. Some things you look at hourly, some daily, and some you deliberately save till Friday pm for a catch up. This is light years away from sitting down at the table in the morning looking at your paper, or even your paper’s website.”
   
• RSS and Blog Directories
  "Inspired by The Media Drop's list of newspaper RSS feeds, I thought I'd compile a list of RSS directories. Enjoy and spread the link."
   
• Newsmap as a Model for Smart Aggregation
  "Information overload. It’s the next big issue in publishing, and technology in general. The day you have 400 e-mails in your inbox, 900 new items in your RSS aggregator, and 8 Instant Messenger windows on your screen will come. For some people, it’s already here.... The key to our information gathering lives is all about smart aggregation. The days of media companies deciding what’s on your 'front page' are numbered. Within five years, I believe customizable newsreader technology (whether client-side like Net News Wire, or server-side like Bloglines), will be as prevalent as the web is right now."
   
• 500 down, 3061 to go
  "At the beginning of this week I had 310 feeds showing around 25,000 unread posts. I had toyed with the idea of declaring RSS bankruptcy and just starting again, but I was getting increasingly unhappy with chaotic state of my feeds and deep down I knew that hitting 'mark all posts read' would do nothing to solve the problem in the long run."
