03/13/2003 10:16 AM

I've created a Perl script that generates an RSS feed from your Amazon wishlist contents, including prices and Amazon book links. Fixed the ISBN/ASIN bug, now defaults book links to ISBN.nu instead of Amazon (for cheaper purchasing).




This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)

"You want to keep an eye on your Amazon.com wishlist or a particular Amazon.com/de/co.uk item, want to be informed whether and how much the price has been changed, but don't have the time?

Watchcow.net to the rescue! This simple and handy service allows you to passively watch single Amazon products and entire wishlists in your newsreader, such as Bloglines (web), NetNewsWire (Mac), NewsFire (Mac) or FeedDaemon (Windows), just to name a few. It works with every newsreader/-aggregator that supports ATOM feeds. Which, incidently, means pretty much all of them."

Another great service from Carlo Zottmann!

This Article explains about fetching the RSS feed of Amazon web site, transform it into HTML using XSLT and display it on your website. There are many web sites that list the RSS feeds of Amazon.

"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 .

Add to the RSS Wishlist


Add to the RSS Wishlist 06/29/2004 12:57 AM
Harold Check is doing a reality check of what's missing from the RSSphere and he's cataloging The RSS Wishlist. Some samples:

"It may seem obvious to readers of this particular blog that just about anything on the web that changes, whether frequently or infrequently, should have an associated feed. Readers all over rejoice when a major publication decides to hop onboard the syndication freight train. And beyond your typical publications, there are hundreds of innovative services that are just waiting to be remixed with some RSS flavor. 

At Supernova, Scott Rosenberg pointed out that privacy policies are a perfect candidate for RSS feeds. I second that. I also want KEXP playlists to be updated hourly. And I’d like car recall notices, too. And coupons for businesses in my ZIP code. And MetaCritic. And Aquarius Records new releases. And so on, and so on…

Nick Bradbury: CNN.com, The Onion, and PythOnline....

Michael Sippey: 'Until my entire family gets their act together and starts using Flickr for photo sharing, I want an RSS feed from Ofoto of new pics of my nieces, nephews and cousins.  That feed could be sucked up by a screen saver, or scripted to rotate as my desktop background, or have one every N photos auto-shipped to the photo printer.'

Jason Kottke: The New Yorker

So, what do you want to become available via RSS? Leave your requests in a comment. If you really wow me, you might just get a gmail invitation...." [The RSS Weblog]

My greatest wish - my local newspapers. Hopefully, the directory of my local library and I will be talking to them soon to turn on a few light bulbs. Then I want feeds for grant offerings of relevance to my job. Then, of course, I want feeds from my online catalog!!!!!

I hope this is the most clever of clever pranks . . . because it's much, much better that way.

"The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank.

Standard drive is an air-cooled, 6hp Tecumseh gasoline (unleaded only) engine, with centrifugal clutch, giving the Donk a top speed of 40 mph. This vehicle is not licensed for use on public roads, and is intended as a recreational vehicle only.

1 person recommended Star Wars A New Hope 12" Figure: Obi-Wan Kenobi Tatooine Encounter instead of JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank"

Filelist and Wishlist


Filelist and Wishlist 05/09/2004 07:55 PM

My recent burst of interest in P2P networks stems from the idea of sharing wishlists which I mentioned in my comment about CleverCactus Share.  Diego expressed some enthusiasm about the idea so there is a good chance it will appear in ClearCactus Share.

But my mind is already leaping forward exploring generalizations and mutations of the basic idea of sharing and seemlessly integrating the capability into the operating system.  To power this exploration, I am asking questions like:

  • What is a file?
  • What does it mean to share?
  • How can I share something without having it?
  • How can I share nameless, locationless, temporary, and formless objects?
  • What if everything is shared by default?
  • What if bots are loosened into the shared space?

Many of the answers seem to point to a need to review some basic assumptions pounded into us by file systems and databases like names, locations, queries, etc.

If you drag a file from here to there, people expect the object to move from here to there and also expect the operation to take some time.

If the object is a wish, meaning it will arrive sometime in the future, dragging it from here to there could mean it should be moved there when it arrives.  That's like an instruction.  But people usually don't give instructions to empty air.  Is it better to introduce a bot-like objects or should future actions or 'promises' be turned into an object?

There is also the problem of having too many P2P networks.  They can be abstracted or hidden behind other shapes and forms.  At that point, even services like eBay and Amazon can be thrown into the mesh.  An auction involves someone wanting to sell something they either own or can provide.  Drag and drop this from here to there and eventually a real-world object is 'downloaded' to someone's doorstep.  All this is nice except abstraction and usuability don't often walk hand-in-hand.

I know that I am overstepping the bounds of practicality in many areas, but overreaching is often useful when searching through the solution space.  Anyway, these are kind of things I occupy weekends with these days.

Unfortunately, as stated in the FAQ, this is not currently possible. I agree, there are many nice newsreaders which are more convenient for comprehensive newsgroup reading (as opposed to simply searching, which Google Groups is great at) which I would like to use to read these groups. As it stands, I can't remember to go back to the websites and check them each day.

Today as I sent an IM to a friend correcting a their/there/they're use in a blog post, it reminded me that I should post a lazyweb request for an MT plugin I've always wanted.

I want a MT plugin that will let a select group of my closest, most trusted friends correct typos in text and URLs on my blog posts and republish their changes without my intervention. If I'm gone for a couple days and improperly used your when I meant you're, I'd love it if a friend fixed that while I was away. I first got the idea when I was trying to think of ways to make Orkut or Friendster useful. If there was some API to those apps that let MT know if someone was a best friend or life partner-level connection, they could be granted temporary edit rights on my blog (maybe Flickr's API could let this work for people I designate as a friend and family member, which seems to be the closest form of relationship there).

Ideally, I'd like an easy way to say that 4 or 5 people I trust could make edits. And I suppose the edits should be checked before and after, with a certain byte count limit, lest you allow your friends to completely rewrite your post. An email telling me what took place would be nice, but I'd like my friends to go ahead and save their changes, with a way for me to rescue the earlier pre-edit entry just in case.

Actually, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to allow anyone to suggest an edit on the post, sending me an email, with a one-click way to approve or disapprove it. Maybe after a random stranger has properly corrected me half a dozen times, I could elevate their status to having republish rights on the edits so I wouldn't have to approve them anymore.

A plugin like this would basically wiki-ize the weblog world, allowing readers to participate and correct small mistakes. I often write in margins of books and email authors all the little typos I found while reading their novel, but this would put that kind of power right into anyone's hands. In the world of programming they say "given a million eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" and maybe in this case, given a million editors, all typos will be fixed.

It can't be impossible to make this happen, right?


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.
