If you're both a WordPress an Mint user and are wanting to integrate them the easy way, check out this new entry from Chris Hartjes about combining the two.   Now, the installation is fairly easy but there was a weird bug that was appearing, where a check to see if you are running a licensed copy of Mint kept getting triggered when I tried to access my feeds via a feed alias. The solution? An ugly hack, if you ask me.   The problem was with a Pepper for Mint called Bird Feeder Pepper that helps track RSS feed usage. The solution he found was a snippet of PHP code you'll need to insert into several of the feed scripts WordPress offers (as provided).

There has been a lot of talk  recently about the problem of RSS feeds which include full content on high bandwidth sites such as MSDN blogs.  When RSS is used for a site with both a great amount of users, and with frequent updates, the bandwidth required to deliver realtime events can be problematic.  Its a real problem.  The RSS model requires clients to download the ENTIRE feed if even ONE item has been modified/added.  This means that if you have 55k subscribers, with 15 RSS items in your feed, and you want to publish one more post, all 14 additional posts need to be re-downloaded by the client.  There are a lot of potential solutions. HTTP deltas are one solution but too difficult to imp ...

Chris Alden blogged  the other day about Rojo going past 800k feeds in our index:  "We indexed our 800,000th feed yesterday, making Rojo one of the largest feed search services already. If your RSS or Atom feed is NOT indexed by Rojo already, all you need to do is to enter that feed into the "Add Channel" window on the right side of the Content tab, and we will add it. All of the feeds we've indexed are searchable in the "Search Rojo" window, also on the right side of the Content tab. Please let us know what you think of our search!"  We're quickly finding new feeds.  The feed discovery seems to be pretty steady. The on difference between Rojo and Technorati  is that they track weblogs *and* ...

I think I've mentioned this before but on Saturday Feb 12th I'll be talking  about the Jakarta FeedParser at CodeCon  in San Francisco.  I published an outline  of the talk on the FeedParser wiki.  I'm hoping to have a 0.5 release done before then and havepotentially another suprise in the works.

RSS is one of the hottest technologies on the Web today. Most blogging and content management systems have RSS file creation capability built in, but if you're not using one of those programs, it can be a bit tedious. Enter the ListGarden RSS Feed Generator. By Lee Underwood. 1012

In this new tutorial from DevShed (in their "RSS Reader" series), they finally get down to the real heart of the application - the code.   The other other two parts prepared you for this, the creation of the actual RSS file - correctly formatted and filled with data. They also include a simple feed reader so you can ensure your document can be read correctly.   Unfortunately, they chose to go with a long line of fwrites to push out each line of the file instead of pushing it all into one string and writing that. Using the multiples makes more work for the file handling and could result in a slowdown for a large amount of items in the RSS file.

Hannes Magnusson has posted about more updates that are being made to the PHP.net website today, including an upgrade to the "conference teaser" patch and the introduction of a new box to like directly to the latest releases on the front page.    Since I moved the 'current releases' info into "a giant" includable array, living in include/version.inc, we can now provide a simple XML feed (or whatever) for you to parse to get the latest release info simpler and more accurately...   What do you think? Is it worth it? What kind of format would you want it in?    He wants your feedback on this last point - would having an XML feed for just the version info be that useful? Or would it just be yet another RSS feed to add to the list to keep up with the new PHP releases?

If you've ever needed a good project to get started with combining PHP and Ajax, you should definitely take a look at this new tutorial from the PHPHacks.com website today. They demonstrate how to create a simple RSS reader combining the power of PHP and the client-side abilities of Ajax.   They start by explaining some of the terms they'll be working with, including:  RSS - and an example document XSL - to help create the RSS feed SimpleXML - to read in and parse the info from a remote server  After that, they jump right in, creating their first file - the main functionality for the application (on the PHP side). They opt to do everything by hand and not use any of the frameworks that are already out there so you can really understand what goes into it. They provide all of the code you'll need to get things set up, including the CSS to get things nice and styled and a few usage examples to show you how it all ties in together.

RSSOwl is a RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader written in Java using SWT as fast graphic library. Read News in a tabfolder, save favorites in categories, Export to PDF / RTF / HTML / OPML, Import Feeds from OPML, perform fulltext-search, use internal browser.  The next version of RSSOwl is available. Finally, loading any number of feeds and aggregations is now running completly in the background allowing to open feeds while a loading is running. This not only removes the annoying "Please wait..." dialog, but also improves the performance when loading aggregations.  A comparison of time it takes loading the 130 sample favorites resulted in 14.5 seconds for RSSOwl 0.82b and 90.5 seconds for earlier versions.   Improved handling of protected newsfeeds. It is now possible to let RSSOwl remember username and password so that the user does not have to enter these information everytime the feed is loading.  A lot of bugs have been fixed. Thanks for the feedback!  See the changelog for a complete list of changes.  May the owl be with you, Ben

Warp is a recursive backronym for 'Warps An Rss Package-manager', it is a research project to see if Web2.0 can be used practically, and it can. Now for a practical application.   It's taken a long long time, but here it is, proof RSS feeds can be used as an application update source. Download it, test it, patch it, whatever. I'm a long way still from this being in practical use, but the basics are there.  Enjoy.
