State of Real-Time feeds

As promised last month, here is a small update on the real-time feeds market.

First, I’d like to insist on the method we use to collect these statistics. For each feed, we always try to…

Added Title to Feed Info

We just pushed a small code update (it should be fully deployed within minutes) to our schema. Of course, this is fully downward compatible.

We’re shutting down.

It’s a tough decision that we made, but a much needed one. The amount of work involved with Superfeedr is big enough so that we unfortunately have no more to maintain and improve Notifixious.

We hate having a service out there that is not maintain and people asking for help with it and not being able to do so.

At the same time, Superfeedr is growing and more and more services built with Superfeedr are providing similar solutions and we think it’s safe to say that you’ll find a replacement for Notifixious.

November 30th will be the last day of Notifixious as it’s been until now. Hopefully it will one day come back in a different form. Please take the time to export the list of blog you subscribed to, (via OPML) and re-import that into your new favorite feed reader.

Thanks, it’s been a wonderful adventure. We learnt a lot.

I have always been a great fan of the iPhone (I had mine on June 29th 2007 : iPhone D-day), but I haven’t found many applications that were making good use of the “notification” feature that Apple…

The little lie about Real-time Data

It is very exciting to see all the jazz about real-time data being available. It is however a little disappointing that the RSS vs. Atom war is starting again through the PubSubHubbub vs….

What API to choose

Superfeedr is technology-agnostic, which means that we don’t force you into any API. We use standards so that our users aren’t locked in any way to our service. However, being agnostic doesn’t…
