RussellBeattie.com - OMGWTFBBQ: Open Source PHP5 News Reader

New open-source self-hostable PHP feedreader from Russell Beattie. My Gregarius install is aging, and something shiny, new, and being worked-on is mighty tempting.

Pipes from RodBegbie

Here are the pipes I’ve created so far. Wish Flickr used the same ID for photos in regular streams as well as in pools, but I’m happy with a slight decrease in duplicity.

Pipes: Rewire the web

Wicked cool RSS/Atom masher-upper from Yahoo. Nice GUI and mapping model, which means making a Boing Boing feed without Xeni Jardin can essentially be a drag’n’drop operation.

Official Google Reader Blog: I like big charts and I cannot lie

Google Reader do cool personal “what have I been reading” datamining. Google Reader’s come on by leaps and bounds since its launch — If you’re still using Bloglines, it’s well worth trying out again.

Vienna

Open-source newsreader for OS X. Looks to be worthy competition for NetNewsWire.

earFeeder :: Customized newsfeeds about your favorite artists

Site which scans the MP3s on your hard disk, then builds you a custom RSS feed of news, tourdates, etc based upon your “favourite” artists. Taking this for a spin too. Update: The user experience on the site is horrible — It freezes your browser for a few minutes with almost no feedback, then finds barely any of the many, many artists on my computer. Not recommended

Official Google Blog: Your inbox for the web

The new Google Reader UI is a vast improvement over their initial release. Still not something I’d use, but definitely recommendable to feed-reading newbies.

Encoding RSS Titles

Yet another reason to switch to the unambiguous land of Atom 1.0. At least then, if a moronic client screws up, you can be an asshole and point them to the spec.

WidSets Beta

More software cluttering up my cellphone! This is a kind of like Konfabulator or Apple Dashboard — A website to manage your widgets (mostly RSS feeds at the moment), and a very simple, but attractive, on-phone interface for reading.

RSSBus

These guys were presenting at ETech. It has to be said, I’m still thoroughly flummoxed as to what problem they think their technology is solving. Seems like a horrible bandwagon-jumping to me.

RSS Eclipse Plugin: RSS View

RSS feedreader plugin for Eclipse. Piping FogBugz’s RSS feeds into this will make it easy to keep track of my bugs in the IDE.

Burningbird: We Interrupt This Commercial Break with a Word about RSS

Oh, fucking hell. Dave Winer’s started another dick-swinging war about RSS, this time claiming that a group he started no longer exists, which came as something of a surprise to the nine members.

The 3 Hour Tour is Now Available! : FeedLounge

Finally had a chance to play with FeedLounge. It’s a very nice interface, that’s for sure — I’d recommend this over Bloglines to new RSS users. I’m probably going to stick with self-hosted Gregarius for now, though, since it’s free and free.

Gregarius » A Free, Web-based Feed Aggregator

Really awesome looking self-hosted feed reader. I’ve been using Feed on Feeds for the last month or so, but this looks light-years ahead of it.

Google Reader

Google’s long-rumoured RSS-reader launched. Tagging, keyboard navigation, and server-based? If they can up the responsiveness of the server, Bloglines may well be fucked.

FeedTree: collaborative RSS and Atom delivery

Dan’s research project into shunting RSS around the inertnet gets a sickeningly lovely homepage. If it doesn’t mangle my Atomness too much, I might start pushing my feeds out with this tonight.
