Google Invented Reading Lists?
Well-known podcaster and RSS pioneer Dave Winer is critical about Google's reading list patent. In a recent blog post, Winer explains how Google filed a patent laying claim to "a method of subscribing to a collection of feeds". Winer's own Scripting News discusses OPML file subscriptions or "reading lists" much earlier than the patent application and from what I understand, BlogBridge has also supported dynamic reading lists for years.
How To: Backup And Search All Your Friends' Tweets In Google Reader
I just set up an automatic backup of all 3000 of my friends' Twitter messages and became able to search through their Twitter history two years into the past with just five minutes of easy clicking. Only two things are required: Dave Winer's new Twitter OPML tool and a Google Reader account.
Twitter's search engine only goes back about a week and a half. Sometimes you want to retrieve a message you saw, or get a feeling for what your circle of friends said about something, from longer ago than that. We wrote yesterday about 10 Ways To Archive Your Tweets. The next step is to archive the Tweets of everyone else you find of interest, and make them searchable.
SuggestRSS: Super Simple New Feed Recommendations
Let's say you like RSS feeds. Let's say you're looking for some more good ones to subscribe to so you don't miss good stuff. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, but this week New York based developer Jonathan Christopher built a nice simple new one. Give his app SuggestRSS just a few minutes of your time and it will give you some cool new feeds to subscribe to.
Years after the untimely demise of Share Your OPML and available now, unlike the super feature rich but frozen in private beta service Toluu, Jonathan Christopher's SuggestRSS is easily worth the minimal effort it will take you to try out.
Social Media's Greatest Hits as an OPML File
Turns out Chris Miller over at The Social Networker noticed a list of top 150 social media blogs on eCairn's blog last week, but was disappointed to see that it was not available as an OPML file. So, he created one.
Today, we realized that the most popular posts from those blogs may be useful resources for many folk, so we created our own OPML file. Ah, the beauty of the Web.
Dude, Where's My App? 10 Web Apps We Wish Hadn't Disappeared
We track hundreds of web apps here on ReadWriteWeb. Some, like YouTube and last.fm, become our favorites and prosper. But others sadly close down, or whither away due to not many people using them, or suddenly stop working for one reason or another (the bills are too high, the RIAA gets on their back, the developer doesn't have time, or a myriad of other reasons). Here is a list of 10 web apps that are no more, that we at ReadWriteWeb miss and wish were still operational.
Social Media U: Take a Class in Social Media
Social media. Web 2.0. You know what these things are and you take advantage of them every day on the net. Whether you're socializing on Facebook, updating Twitter, or just adding a new bookmark to Ma.gnolia, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, that doesn't mean that it's something that everyone innately understands or knows how to use - especially when it comes to using it for marketing, PR, or other business-related purposes. That's why many of today's colleges and universities are now offering "social media" classes as an option for their students.
Toluu Gets Updated, Adds Twitter Integration and More
Earlier this year, we reported on the new OPML sharing and matching service called Toluu, giving you "10 Reasons Why You're Going to Love Toluu." For anyone who remembers the now defunct site, ShareYourOPML, Toluu is a big improvement, providing you with a much easier way to discover new feeds. Since we last covered Toluu there have been several improvements to the service, and more have just launched today.
OPML Resources for ReadWriteWeb Readers
As you may have heard, we're big fans of RSS here at ReadWriteWeb. We've covered many RSS readers, aggregators, sites, and services in the past and have provided RSS tips in posts like "Seven Tips for Making the Most of Your RSS Reader" and "6 Ways to Filter Your RSS Feeds." We also like reading feeds and sharing some of our favorites with our readers. Over the past year or so, we've provided access to many RSS feeds and OPML files we thought our readers would enjoy. However, until now, those files have been spread out amongst our archived posts. Today, you can get access to all the RSS resources we've shared with you right here.
BlogRovr Acquisition by BuzzLogic Calls Data Portability Into Question
The innovative OPML browser plug-in BlogRovr is announcing tonight that it has been acquired by PR monitoring and ad sales startup BuzzLogic. It's a victory for all the startups who face hostile questions about "how are you going to monetize that?" and answer by pointing to the potential for data mining. For BlogRovr users, who piled up the feed subscription and traffic data that make up much of Blogrovr's value, it's a clarion call to engage with the hard questions about data portability and ownership.
BlogRovr lets you identify what blogs you read, then notifies you when any URL you visit has been linked to by one of those blogs. That technology will remain free but will now be put to use for PR monitoring and advertising sales by BuzzLogic.
Five Wrong Ways to Pitch RWW and One Great Way
Here at ReadWriteWeb we get piles and piles of pitches for coverage from companies all day long and they almost always come in by email.
