Turning News Aggregators into News
Distributors

Turning News Aggregators into News
Distributors 05/09/2004 07:55 PM

Although I travel in the wide open realm of ideas, I am not into impractical ideas no matter how attractive they may be.  My excuse for wasting my time with impractical ideas is that they tend to be stepstones to practical ones.  Anyhow, here is one I thought could be of immediate use to the blogosphere.

The idea is to turn all those news aggregator clients out there into news distributors.  So all the RSS files I download every morning is also made available to others.  Whether sharing of RSS files and resources is done through a variation of BitTorrents, blogosphere-specific P2P network, or existing P2P networks is irrelevant as long as the sharing is done by those who can.

I know this is probably not a new idea, but I am peddling it here because I believe this must be done if blogosphere is to continue growing.  At some point, distribution of load across news aggregators must be discussed but that's a post topic for the future.  For now, enthusiasm for something new is enough to power this effort.

OEM News Aggregators

OEM News Aggregators 01/27/2004 05:18 PM

Continuing the discussion that started with Ads in Feeds, I think the next step in content-syncation markets is emergence and proliferation of OEM news aggregators for premium content service providers.  In this space, oversea software developers can compete effectively against open source and shareware developers.

Companies with necessary internal resources to develop their own news aggregators (i.e. Microsoft) or sufficient needs to differentiate itself (i.e. Apple) will develop their own, but most companies will opt to buy and brand OEM news aggregators, initially as a marketing ploy, but ultimately as a source of revenue.

Inevitable consequence is a feature war that will stretch the definitions of syndication and blogging.  Marc will be a very happy man. :-)

Another Roundup of RSS News Aggregators

Extend Your Information Seeking Skills With Newsfeeds

"Many people no longer receive a daily newspaper, or even buy one on the way to work. There is more news and more information being fed daily online than a newspaper could hope to print. However, those skills you used each morning for maybe twenty years, scanning the front page just before you race out to work, are still needed, and perhaps need to be refined and updated.

To experience more on the topic of this article you should download the newset of the bunch of Newsreaders and deliver news from Newsfeeds minute-by-minute during your day. No, this is not just your local, national or international newspapers participating; often you can have fed to you new information from weblogs, news sites, or whatever other site you like to choose. Effectively mix your own news.

Start here by downloading the new Australian built Awasu Personal Edition 1.0 (yes, it sounds Japanese, but I can assure you Awasu is an Australian-built product.) I have downloaded and tested Syndirella, NewzCrawler, AmphetaDesk, FeedReader, Userland Radio, Headline Viewer, WildGrape, and NewsGator. From this field, I would choose Awasu any day even though it is the newest of what they call the RSS Newsreaders out there." [Microdoc Info Seeker News]

I'm not familiar with Awasu, so it's another one to try. More and more people are figuring out the benefits of RSS news aggregators. If you're not reading this in an aggregator, you should try it and see for yourself.

Just Say Yes to Pre-populated

Just Say Yes to Pre-populated
Aggregators 04/27/2004 12:31 AM
Feed Pre-population

"I reckon setting up aggregators for learners is way cool, in the same breath as (if not before) looking at blogging, but I'm not too sure about pre-population of those aggregators (in the same way IE et al pre-pops bookmarks) for two reasons really:

1. I should be able to select what I want... take out the choice (or hint at it) and I'll be a bit unhappy, as Jenny said it'd be a cracking job by any librarian to get together, categorise and share feeds... but already in there... no thanks!

2. It feels like that whole 'community aggregator' thing again... which works against the individuals in the group (we are our own group aggregator, perhaps?)" [incorporated subversion]

My reasoning is that aggregators already come pre-populated anyway, and most people would actually be confused if you gave them a blank aggregator. So if an aggregator is already going to have some feeds in it, let's make them relevant to get the point across right away.

In a university setting, a library can pre-populate the aggregator with topical feeds. Ditto for special libraries. In a public library setting, the aggregator could be pre-populated with local community feeds. In a school setting, the feeds could be topical or class-based. It's enough to get users started and of course in my ideal world, the aggregator includes the library's feed and a permanent link to the library's web site, online catalog, and virtual reference service (maybe even as the elusive embedded toolbar).

Works for me.

Meet the Aggregators at Gnomedex

Meet the Aggregators at Gnomedex 06/24/2005 03:36 PM

A while back I was talking with Chris Pirillo and Dave Winer about interesting things to do at Gnomedex this year, and we figured that since so many aggre gator developers will be there, we should all get together for some sort of informal luncheon where people who use our software could ask us questions and make suggestions.

The idea went over well with several aggregator developers we spoke with, so it's official - according to the schedule, it's happening at noon on Saturday. As of right now, developers working on NetNewsWire, RSS Bandit, Rojo, Bloglines, Pluck and (of course) FeedDemon will be there, and the invitation is open to other aggregator developers.

I'll be leaving at the crack of dawn Thursday morning to fly to Seattle for the conference, and it looks like it's going to be quite an event - according to numerous sources, there will be some interest ing announcements made there.

Aggregators Counts Require a Close Look

Aggregators Counts Require a Close Look 06/08/2004 05:14 PM
Aggregators and resellers of hotspot access are likely to rise to more prominence as roaming becomes de rigeur, but how many locations do they offer, anyway? Three companies dominate hotspot aggregation and reselling: iPass, GoRemote (formerly GRIC), and Boingo Wireless. The former two work almost entirely with large corporations, offering a combination of dial-up, wired Ethernet (in hotel rooms and elsehwere), and Wi-Fi hotspots. Boingo resells just hotspot access. None of the three build infrastructure; Boingo does offer turnkey hotspots for venues that want to be Boingo-only locations. A question has been raised many times over the last several months about how hotspot operators and aggregators count their locations. Even companies that don't resell, like SBC, have adopted terminology that isn't entirely clear. SBC talks about 20,000 access points and 6,000 locations over a few years--but why mention access points or individual pieces of hardware at all? To produce a comprehensive list and a spot check of counts across each aggregator, I downloaded the free client software either directly from the company, in Boingo and iPass's case, or through a reseller that provides up-to-date listings, in the case of GoRemote. A few days ago, I updated the listings for all the software. I was able to extract the directory information for iPass and GoRemote; it's stored in plain text in a clearly labeled file. Boingo uses a database structure that's password protected, and so I turned to their Web site's location finder to get accurate results. First, let's look at how each company states their current pool of hotspots venues. The tricky starting point is that many hotel locations that are aggregated by Wi-Fi-only Boingo are, in fact, mostly or entirely Ethernet based. Newer or revamped installations typically feature Wi-Fi in common areas and Ethernet to the room, although more hotels are switching to or choosing all Wi-Fi. So you can't entirely split out wired from wireless locations. iPass states that worldwide they have over 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspot and Ethernet broadband locations. Boingo Wireless notes that they have 6,000 locations under contract, and 3,300 live worldwide. GoRemote says it connects to 7,800 Wi-Fi hotspots in 45 countries and territories and 1,391 Hotel Ethernet locations in 27 countries. Next, I took all of GoRemote and iPass's information and loaded into a flat database fielded by their particular values so that I could examine apples-to-apples information. I used Boingo's Web site and...

Readers, aggregators, linkbl0gs and
another approach

Readers, aggregators, linkbl0gs and
another approach 12/11/2003 10:55 AM

Some things are starting to fit into place. From the art icle above, it's clear now that the difference between readers and aggregators isn't new, it goes back to the difference between My.Netscape and My.UserLand. In the former, each feed was considered its own independent thing; My.UserLand flowed all feeds into one flow. (My.UserLand migrated< /a> to become the aggregator in Radio.) To me (and I've said this before) the My.UserLand approach is more leveraged for the human, because the former approach still makes you go somewhere to find the new stuff. True, the "somewhere" is all in one app, but it's still work you have to do, instead of the computer.

Then another dichotomy is exposed. Quite a few Movable Type bloggers start things called linkblogs, or remaindered links, whatever you call them, they're working around the model of longish posts with lots of visual overhead (a model also implemented by Blogger, Manila and Radio, so this isn't a dig on MT). What if you just want to link to something, should that require a whole post with all its attributes? It's a matter of user interface in the end. If MT made it easy to post and update a news item that was link-blog-like, people wouldn't need to invent a way around it. But that would break the relationship between the feed and posts. Oy what a mess.

Now look at this page carefully. See how posts of all sizes mix? It seems to work. The only thing missing is titles for posts (you'll see why I need them, in some cases, later today). But a right-click menu makes it possible to give a post a title.

Personal Life Recorders and Digital
Lifestyle Aggregators

Personal Life Recorders and Digital
Lifestyle Aggregators 09/13/2004 09:19 AM

Nick Graydos brings up a good point.

Once we have Personal Life Recorders (PLRs) - we'll need digital lifestyle aggregators (DLAs) to organize all the crap we collect.

Perhaps the biggest barriers to humans utilizing all the technology we offer them - is how to get all this stuff digitzed, uploaded, meta data attached and indexed - before we can utilize it.

PLRs solve that problem.

But we'll need ways of organizing, keeping track of and backing up all our stuff - especially as we move from home to work and school and bop around the world - as well. This all goes along well with the last post I did on dealing with your digital lifestyle - currently.

There are other things that require DLAs as well.

Activity based computing for one. Is it a coicidence that Don Norman influenced me on that one as well?

Clay Shirky calls it Situated software, but I see a more general era of technology - where the human no longer has to bend over to adapt to the weird rules and eccentricities of the software - to use it.

This assumes that the usability issue is finally understood, that soci al interfaces are predominant and that DLAs help us pull it all together.

The PLRs and activity based computing will take us to the next level.

Here's Nick's post which inspired this outburst.....

USA Today ran an article on MRAM (magentic ram) and its impact PLRs - personal life recorders.

The holy grail of devices = Storage Capacity + Battery Life + Device Speed / Responsiveness + Physical Size.

How do you feel about having your life recorded? I'm ready.

Marc Canter has some related ideas that tie into his themes of Digital Lifestyle Aggregation. I really think that Personal Lifestyle Recorders will require Digital Lifestyle Aggregators to sift through all of the data to find the interesting bits.

Imagine a next generation MyYahoo service – which enabled end-users to keep track of their personal (and their families) music, photo, video and file collections and provided them with ‘home publishing’ capabilities to create, store and distribute their own content.  Imagine a social networking environment which matched and found like-minded people and enabled them to participate in activities together (both on-line and in ‘real space’.)...

...Now imagine all of these capabilities and features in one integrated environment – focused in on a particular constituency, content brand or set of activities.  That’s what we call a digital lifestyle aggregator (DLA.)"

How to make money from Digital Lifestyle
Aggregators - Part I

How to make money from Digital Lifestyle
Aggregators - Part I 06/01/2004 05:07 PM

I'm getting to be like Doc now.  I have multiple blog sources where I'm published at.

I've been starting to use Tony Perkin's AlwaysOn Network as a platform to spiel on about DLAs.  Strictly DLAs. 

A man's gotta have a professional avenue only to rant and rave in and the AlwaysOn Network is the perfect 24/7/365 venue for me - culminating with a meatspace confab in July.

I helped Tony put together the AO Zaibatsu (as he calls it) and I'm hoping that he'll continue to the good work in providing yet another example of social networking put into context - this time in the virtual Silicon Valley crowd.

The AO Zaibatsu provides every member a blog tool, which is then used to produce the global AlwaysOn Network voice.

Tony and his editorial staff (including Rafe Needleman and Rich Seidner) then cherry pick the posts and put them up onto the top page.  Tony and his team have some coolio new applications for Groups and sponsorships - which they'll be unveiling soon and it all ties into the AO Innovation Summit at Stanford in July 13-15th.

The whole brand is a great example of putting DLAs into action, and allows me (combined with 1UP.com) to show the world that "there's a there there".

So check out my latest post there entitled "H ow to make money from digital lfiestyle aggregators?"  'Cause it's all about making money - right?

I grabbed a couple of screen grabs just to show everyone that this is coming out of live code, with live, breathing humans attached to a real life social network - supporting FOAF and RSS - spewing out feeds and content faster than a NYC editor can edit them.

That means that the AlwaysOn Network is a permanent location in our people's mesh - a decentralized collection of on-line tools, services and applications - all utilizing FOAF to import/export digital ID's between systems.

We're working on forming an industry consortium dedicated to making sure that this happens.  It's code-named the FOAFnet.

Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators

Varied feed polling times versus item
urgency in aggregators 12/02/2003 12:28 AM

The problem with varying the polling interval is that the need varies. It's ok not to poll my little opensource website within 24 hours, but what about the announcements to the civil defence website or local municipal environment alerts, or the nuclear power plant news feed?

Definitely a good point there. For most of the feeds in my daily habit, what I use is an AIMD variation on my polling frequency per feed based on occurrence of new items. For feeds with low-frequency but high-urgency items, a different algorithm should come into play.

On the other hand... should incoming alerts with that much urgency really be conveyed via an architecture driven by polling? Here's an excellent case for tying instant messaging systems and pub/sub into the works.
