Feedster is one year old







Feedster is one year old

Feedster is one year old 03/08/2004 11:28 PM

Feedster just celebrated their first birthday, and they've given thanks to a long list of friends.

My name is in their list, and I'd like to return the thanks by congratulating them on their success over the past 12 months. Feedster has become as important to me as Google in my searching tasks, which is no small feat. I'm betting they'll see even greater success in the year to come.

Although I mentioned this last week, now that made KDE News, its even more official (although is that more definitive than a CVS archive?  Depends on your point of view I guess):

You already have KNewsTicker and you often hit the popular sites for the latest news. But have you tried Feedster, the RSS search engine? Now, the latest KDE CVS includes support for Feedster in the elegant form of a web shortcut. [_Go_]

What About Feedster ?  And other Roogle Stuff

I was just chatting with Sooz and we came up with feedster.  And feedster.com was available so I just grabbed it.

Comments?  Like it ?  Hate it?  Loathe it beyond all description?  Leave feedback here.

Other stuff -- I've been tending to infrastructure today so far to keep things running and I have RSS output of search results working but I keep getting XML errors.  And the indexing is going well.  Any gurus out there ?  I'd love some help.  Feel free to IM me.

Feedster -- DeDuped !


Feedster -- DeDuped ! 03/19/2003 10:27 PM

Feedster -- DeDuped !

Ok.  Based on really strong user feedback, I'm going to take this live earlier than I had expected.  What I'm referencing is the experimental de-duping I blogged about last night. 

Here's the issue:

You're a blogger.  You publish content at both micro and macro levels.  In particular you have multiple RSS feeds syndicated out for different content views.  For a publisher and for a reader, that's great.  Extreme microtargeting of the audience w/ little more effort than checking a box in Radio (categories) or Movable type (can't remember the feature name).

Here's the problem from a search perspective:

Identical posts but with different urls clutter up the search results.  You know it feels wrong but you may not even be aware of why.

The solution

Smart De-duping.  As part of the indexing process, we're calculating a post level "signature" and then filtering by that rather than by the url.  Here's a picture of before and after side by side.

One thing ... I haven't (yet) put in a Google like prompt "We eliminated some duplicate results, click here to redo the search".  That'll come in the next day or two but I want to make some improvements in the overall result set display so that it fits in better.  If anyone desperately needs the duped results, let me know and I'll restore it at a separate url.

Anyone Want a Feedster Bookmarklet ?

I was thinking it would be really useful to just highlight some text on a webpage and click a bookmarklet in your browser link bar and have it do a feedster search.  Matt Mower gets all the credit for this idea.  And, well of course, Bottom Feeder who already has this working.

Anyway ... I just update to IE 6 which seems to have disabled bookmarklets.  I can drag it to the links bar andeven though I say Yes its ok to add it, it seems to just disappear into the void.  Anyone know anything?

So I have most of the code for this but I can't test the pesky thing.  Arrggh!

I know this going to sound silly -- but now I **know** Feedster works.  A friend of mine just bought an iPod and they were asking me about the FM radio adapter.  I know I saw one talked about in the blog-o-sphere recently so I ran a query for iPod and came up with the result.  How damn cool.  It really is like searching either your short term memory or searching conversations you just happened to listen in on.

A lot of times developers don't actually use the things they build.  Or use them peripherally at best.  It really is cool when they work and you have that "ah ha" moment.

Infoworld on Weblogs

Wow.  I had no idea this was going online yesterday just a few hours after I spoke to her (Cathleen is the new Infoworld editor for blogs for Infoworld):

Unlike typical Web search tools such as Google that index Web content at the page level, RSS-focused search engines index RSS feeds and do so more frequently and at a finer level of granularity. "There is a huge need for this capability in blogs. Blogs are heavily nested and interlinked. We take that data stream and go all the way with it. We are getting the whole information feed, storing it, and indexing it," Johnson said.  more.. .

Interestingly their own search engine doesn't even have this indexed.  Link / Picture.  So I went and looked for their RSS feed using Syndic8 and went to add it to Feedster and .... it was already in our database.  I went and checked using our "Drill" function to look at all posts from InfoWorld and there it was.  Their search results, unfortunately, aren't very good though since their RSS is just article titles, not full content.  Hrm....

Thanks to Sentence & Solas who blogged this before I did.  Much appreciated.

And while I won't blog much about Feedster today, I will cover some other things in the next few posts.

I've had some interesting IM chats with Pieter and he's updating GGSearch for Feedster.  GGSearch is a client side (for Windows) tool for more easily building Google searches and its actually pretty darn cool.  The way it works is it builds up a search query and then sends it to the browser.  Pieter made a conscious decision to avoid the Soap api for Google and he's going to apply the *same approach to Feedster -- just build up a url.  Give Pieter any comments you have on how a client side API for Feedster might work.

*Note: We do have a Soap API for Feedster although it is currently undocumented.

Wow.  Say that 10 times fast.  Seriously though, I got a nice email yesterday from James Robertson of Cincom Smalltalk who is also the individual responsible for the BottomFeeder RSS aggregator. He let me know that he's added support for Feedster as a search option within BottomFeeder.  That's very cool.  Here's some more info on BottomFeeder:

Now here's the interesting thing, look at all the supported platforms:

  • Windows
  • Mac OS8, OS9
  • Solaris
  • HPUX 10
  • SGI
  • Linux 86
  • Mac OSX
  • AIX
  • HPUX 11
  • Alpha Unix

This is written in Cincom Smalltalk and the number of platforms available is a huge endorsement for the portability that Cincom must offer.  Neat.  Thank you James !

Random humor that's running through my brain right now, I can just hear this: "Yes Virginia, that's right.  You can now aggregate feeds on your AlphaServer.  Its wicked fast".

And that's Not All Folks: Welcome to KDE Enhanced by Feedster

And wait !  There's more.  And this one is just plain damn wonderful.  If you are a user of KDE, Feedster has now been integrated into KDE.  For right now you have to install it yourself but it has already been checked into the CVS tree for the 3.2 release.  Let me quote from the documentation:

Not really eye-candy, but I had to place this somewhere. I have commited a .desktop file for Konqueror's shortcuts to CVS HEAD. If you can't wait for KDE 3.2, you can download the .desktop file here. [_Go_]

Here's how it works:

  1. In a url bar you can now type something like this: rss:Canadian or blog:Canadian or feedster:Canadian 
  2. The search is automagically sent to Feedster and you get the results!

Feedster + KDE -- Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together !

What is KDE ?

In case you're not a part of the Open Source community, you may wonder "What's he saying?"  Or "What's KDE?" Or the ever popular "Is he on crack?".  To quote from the KDE.org site:

KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. [_Go_]

KDE runs on top of Linux / Unix and provides the windows, menus, overall environment, the look and feel, etc.  Please note that is a simplified explanation that doesn't take into account lots of things.  I know its not 100% accurate. 

Depending on how you measure it, KDE is the #1 or #2 windowing environment for Linux.  Now do you see why I'm excited?

How this Happened

Now I'd love to tell you this was my idea.  It wasn't.  I'd also love to tell you that this was part of our strategy.  Nope.  Like so many *good* things, it was actually kind of random.  Yesterday out of the blue, I got an IM from a fellow blogger, the.amazing.us / Rob Kaper, who also works on KDE.  He came up with idea, implemented the idea and the committed it to the CVS repository for KDE 3.2 (due year end).  Wow!  And to think, we released Feedster last Thursday, got Slashdotted on Sunday and changed the name on Tuesday.  And now its already embedded in KDE ?

The Thank Yous

Thank you to everyone who pitched in:

  • Rob Kaper who did all the work and really deserves all the credit (Netherlands)
  • Ditesh who tested it (Malaysia)
  • Sooz who pointed out that not everyone knows what KDE is
  • A few folks who I don't have urls for (unfortunately but particular thanks to Macandyed, Jasonlotito and Traumwind)

Abusing the command line


Abusing the command line 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

If you're running OS X, try this:

say -v Kathy `curl --silent http://api.technorati.com/getinfo?username=simonwillison | grep '<inbound' | sed -e 's/ <//' | sed -e 's/inboundblogs>/Simons blog has /' | sed -e 's/<\/inboundblogs>/ inbound blogs and /' | sed -e 's/inboundlinks>//' | sed -e 's/<\/inboundlinks>/ inbound links/'`

Your computer should read out to you my Technorati inbound blogs and inbound links, extracted from the Technorati web API. Parsing XML using sed is a nasty trick I picked up from this O'Reilly article; speaking the output of a command using the 'say' and the backtick shell operator was my moment of inspiration for the day.


Command line blacklisting


Command line blacklisting 09/09/2004 01:15 AM

Just over a year ago, I started blacklisting domain names from links featured in comment spam. My idea then was that these blacklists could become a shared resource: people would publish their own blacklist and subscribe to those of people they trust, thus making it much harder for spammers to operate. While the sheer volume of spam domains meant that the technique was much less useful than I originally anticipated, I've continued to maintain my blacklist ever since as a preventative measure against repeat spammers.

I have a confession to make: all of my blog administration (with the exception of adding entries and blogmarks) is performed using phpMyAdmin. The trouble with writing your own software is that it's very easy to skimp on the backend tools, since you're the only person who will ever see them. Incidentally, this is the main reason I plan to switch to WordPress just as soon as I find the inspiration to write the necessary import scripts. Comments are deleted in phpMyAdmin, and domains are blacklisted by manually editing the blacklist.txt file via FTP.

This has been really bugging me, especially since I have so little other use for FTP that my only installed client is an unregistered version of Transmit (closes after ten minutes, won't save passwords along with account details). I've been muddling along with that for longer than I care to admit, but today I decided to take 10 minutes out to solve the problem once and for all. I could have put together a web interface for adding new domains but I wasn't really in the mood, so I decided to put time spent reading The Art of Unix Programming to good use and knock out a simple command line application.

The result (minus my login details) can be found here. Sample usage: ./blacklist.py www.domain.org www.domain2.com. It follows the Unix ideal of being the simplest-thing-that-could-possibly-work, and ended up taking longer to write than I expected thanks mainly to the craziness of Python's ftplib . I've seen complaints about this before, and it thoroughly deserves its bad reputation.

Here's one example: retrlines is the method used to retrieve ascii text from the server. Bizzarely, it doesn't actually return the text receieved; instead, it expects you to provide it with a callback function that will be fed each line in turn, minus the newline. Sounds like a job for Stri ngIO, but StringIO objects don'y have a writeline method (required to add the newline back on). I ended up writing my own extension of the StringIO2 class and adding a writeline method just to preserve the newlines returned from the server!

Strange APIs aside, I'm pretty pleased with the final result. It follows a bunch of Unix design patterns (and skips others such as those related to configuration, but I'm not overly bothered about those) including the following:

  1. A usage note is displayed if no arguments are provided.
  2. Multiple domains can be blacklisted at once, by providing them as multiple command line arguments.
  3. Domains that are already in the blacklist are skipped, and a message is written to standard error.
  4. If the script suceeds, it doesn't say anything at all.

It also uses the common Python idiom of wrapping the principle logic in a function and then calling that from a block that runs only if the file is executed directly (the __name__ == '__main__' idiom) so that other Python code can import the module and reuse its functionality if required.

There's plenty of room for improvement: being able to pipe a list of domains in via standard input would be nice, and hard coding the (unencrypted) username and password is sloppy (as is expecting the blacklist.txt file to live in the FTP home directory). Even better, with SSH access the whole thing could be replaced with an infinitely more secure one-liner: echo www.domain-to-ban.org | ssh username@server "cat - >> blacklist.txt". I'm happy though: an irritating task has become much less irritating and I have some example code to fall back on next time I need to get mucky with ftplib.
