GoUpstate Goes RSS Reader

GoUpstate Goes RSS Reader 03/14/2005 06:22 PM

The Spartanburg Herald-Journal, better known as GoUpstate.com, has joined the parade of clueful newspapers offering their readers RSS news aggregators. Andy Rhinehart and the GoUpstatians are offering a free, downloadable Windows client called the GoReader for “the latest news, weather, auctions, and more delivered to your desktop.” Notice that the word “RSS” doesn’t appear anywhere in there, which is how it should be. Check out their home page for the banner ad at the very top of the page.

“What can GoReader do for me?

First and foremost, GoReader can allow you, in just one program, to keep track of the latest news at a number of Web sites. Let’s say you have 25 Web sites that you visit every day. If all of those Web sites offer news feeds, you can monitor all 25 sites from GoReader. Just keep it running on your computer, and the latest information will be downloaded to you every time a site makes an update. Then, you can pick and choose what you want to read, when you want to read it. Think of GoReader as your virtual newspaper carrier, delivering to your computer the material that you want to read.”

I’m not totally convinced that a desktop client is the way to go but it’s a huge step for a newspaper, and it means they really do understand about RSS (thanks to Andy). While I’m inclined to think that the recent announcements of web-based newspaper aggregators are more the future and I’m intrigued that the Denver Post is collaborating with NewsGator, check out this additional feature of GoUpstate’s aggregator:

“GoReader can also be used to subscribe to news feeds that contain audio material. These feeds are typically known as podcasts in that the material can be downloaded to a portable digital audio device such as an iPod. More on this in a moment.”

Very interesting addition, and it will be interesting to see if the local community starts doing more with podcasting.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any RSS feeds available from the Spartanburg County Public Libraries, a situation they now need to rectify as quickly as possible. Then hopefully Andy can add it as a default feed in GoReader. This also helps highlight how you can prepopulate aggregators to help your audience learn to use them. In GoReader, you automatically get AP South Caroline headlines plus GoUpstate’s breaking news, business news, news headlines, sports headlines, employment listings, and other “stuff for sale.” There’s even an embedded search engine for finding feeds via Syndic8 and a separate search engine for searching your subscriptions. Big branding in the aggregator, too, something I’d really wanted to see from libraries. Oh, and you can import and export your subscriptions, too - nice.

Still think your library doesn’t need an RSS feed? You’ve already got a “what’s new” section on your web site, right? The best thing you can do right now is turn it into a blog, which will make it easier to post information and will automatically give you an RSS feed.

Well done, Andy and GoUpstate!

Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0: Acrobat Reader 7.0 is out, and it sounds like it's much less aggravating.

Adobe have finally got around to addressing the biggest single problem with the Acrobat Reader - startup speed. In my web-browser (Firefox), Version 7.0 startup is quicker than I ever remember it being. There's no splash screen and no (visible) plug-in initialisation, just a quick transition from web page to PDF - even on first load!

Weird name, but Sauce Reader is a new News Aggregator client for Windows.  It's free for personal use.  Hmm.  I don't think free for personal use leaves much room for profit.  I mean how many businesses classify news reading as legit business activity?  If businesses allow employees to read news online during work hours, is that business use?  How many companies will actually buy news aggregators for its employees?

Boy, I am getting tired of seeing these three-pane UIs.

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?

What Type of RSS Reader Are You?

What Type of RSS Reader Are You? 09/02/2004 11:12 PM

The RSS Weblog has two interesting posts today that I won't go into too much detail about since no one but me can read what I'm posting (if a blogger blogs in the woods and there's no one around to read it, is it still blogging?...).

• An Open Discussion of Feed-Reading Habits
  "Web designer D. Keith Robinson asks his reader how they consume RSS — full text or summary,  do they mind ads in feeds, and the obligatory 'what reader do you use?' "
   
• RSS Would Be Perfect If...
  "Me? I love RSS. I couldn’t keep up with the embarrassingly small percentage of WIN sites I read if I didn’t have FeedDemon, but there are a few things I wish RSS and feed readers could do."

Interesting questions and thoughts proposed in both pieces, which run parallel to something I've been thinking about - the different types of RSS readers (human, not machine). Thinking about it in the car this morning, I came up with four distinct types of RSS users that I know of (in no particular order):

1. The Anal Information Junkie -  reads every post and gets the shakes when she can't goes too long without her aggregator (I'm in this category)
2. The Trend Spotter - scans for patterns and digs deeper when a specific topic starts percolating (I think Bernie Goldbach is in this category)
3. The RSS Pack Rat - keeps an archive of selected feeds that can be searched when the pack rat wants to research a topic (I think Phil Wolff is in this category, but there are similarities to the Trend Spotter)
4. The Casual Causal RSS Reader - someone who has a reader (or an account for one somewhere) and has subscriptions, but only reads them when she has time, which is rare, so it normally takes an out-of-the-ordinary event to get the user back to the reader (I know a couple of people at my office that I think fall into this category because they don't have time to read their Bloglines accounts regularly, until something forces them to)

What RSS profiles have I missed? Which one are you? How does a #4 get to a #1? Is one of the great things about RSS that it works well for all of these types?
