Ashes Brings Slick RSS Reader Fever to iPad
Fever, a gorgeous RSS reader we dubbed one of the top syndication technologies of 2009, is now available in iPad format by way of a new mobile application called "Ashes." Like its desktop sibling, the Ashes RSS reader offers the same ranking features that make Fever so much fun to use.
Instead of overloading you with information as you increase your RSS subscriptions, Fever actually works better the more feeds you add. It automatically picks out the most-discussed feeds from a given period of time and surfaces those to the top of the reader, assigning temperatures next to the headlines (hence the name "Fever" - Get it? These feeds are hot!) The more feeds it has to work with, the better these rankings become. Meanwhile, unread counts are hidden so you can focus on the signal while ignoring the noise...and do so completely guilt-free.
Why We're Desperately Awaiting Feedsqueezer
When the RSS management company Feedburner was acquired by the internet goliath Google back in May of 2007, some people were excited, others were concerned. On the one side, there was hope that putting Google's weight behind the struggling service would improve the speed with which feeds were updated. Plus, there would be the option to put AdSense in feeds, which pleased some publishers. Others, however, felt that that the move gave Google too much power over the syndication marketplace.
Who Is Syndicating Your Content? CopyGator Knows
It's no secret, we here at ReadWriteWeb are fans of RSS. Still, we have to admit that the format has its benefits and its drawbacks. In a world of RSS feeds, the syndication of content is a foregone conclusion - for readers. But as we all know, any number of sites have cropped up that take RSS content, publish it to another page, and wrap that page in ads. They've been around for years and they don't show any sign of going away. But wouldn't you - at the very least - like to know who is repurposing your content? Of course you would. That's what makes CopyGator - a site that helps you find the sites that are copying your content wholesale - so interesting.
AP: The Modern Newsroom Looks Like a Little RSS Reader
The 20th century news and stock ticker used to be one of the most archetypal images of newsrooms all around the world. It was timely and exciting, if a bit impersonal, for editors to watch the wires for breaking news from the big news syndicates and select stories to run in the local paper. That ticker doesn't print everything out any more, though, and a constant stream of news is something that millions of consumers now see for themselves inside their RSS feed readers.
How are newspapers adapting to digital syndication? Today the Associated Press announced that more than 500 newspapers are using their service called the AP Member Marketplace. To web savvy consumers, the Marketplace might look like an RSS reader that publishes selected stories to a webpage built out of Del.icio.us badges. It's a pretty interesting program.
New York Times Syndicates ReadWriteWeb
The New York Times announced today that it will syndicate ReadWriteWeb content, as part of a re-designed Technology section on its website. Over the coming weeks you will see ReadWriteWeb content incorporated into the Technology section front.
