Node.js Powered
Late, but not too late, the whole Superfeedr tream want to wish you a wonderful year 2013, may it be filled with joy and successes! We wanted to start the year by telling you a bit more about 2012. About a year ago, we introduced our first bits of code that use Node.js: a simple wrapper for our XMPP API. We slowly started to fall in love with Node which had gotten more mature and stable over time.
A better web
In the last couple weeks, there’s been a lot of hubbub (again!) around Twitter’s latest move with its ecosystem. Twitter is more and more of a media company and less and less of a communication company Generally, on Twitter you’re interracting more and more with twitter itself and less and less with your friends. People claim that this decision is driven by the fact that Twitter’s business model i
WebIntents are links 2.0
You may have heard of WebIntents. At least, here. We’re proud to say that msgboy now supports WebIntents completely: it triggers intents (sharing stories), and handles them (subscribing). Sharing Stories Sharing stories is a key feature of many readers. People just don’t read for themselves only. Up until now, Msgboy offered our users the ability to share stories on Twitter and Facebook. This is g
PubSubHubbub is not a license
Today, GNIP and Twitter announced a deal where GNIP will be able to resell some of the Twitter data. Twitter repeated several times that they didn’t want to use PubSubHubbub and prefered closed and proprietary solutions. I believe that, from the beginning, we were not clear enough that PubSubHubbub was just a technical protocol. It’s a mistake that I’m trying to repair now. If you’re a subscriber,
Track
Our Track API evolved over time… Please make sure you refer to the track documentation for the current status Ever wondered how you could subscribe to keywords, instead of actual feeds? It’s already great to get pushed content from thousands of RSS feeds, but sometimes, you want to know all about your company’s name, all about movie that’s just been released. A long long long time ago, Twitter had
Make your application real-time with PubSubHubbub
Earlier in May Last month, I was given the opportunity by my friend Brett to present PubSubHubbub at Google IO on stage with him. It was a great experience, and if you want to learn a bit more about PubSubHubbub and Superfeedr, I’d suggest you take the time to look at it! This session will go over how to add support for the PubSubHubbub protocol to your website. You’ll learn how to turn Atom and R
KumoFS, a database success story
Superfeedr is growing, and we want to add value for our clients. Our newest feature requires us to store a lot of data, so we went out to look for appropriate solutions in the NoSQL ecosystem. The first decision was Riak, featuring persistent storage on disk and a very tunable clustering layer. The current use-case consists of simply pulling a feed from the database, extend it with the newest entr
Ruby Fibers may confuse
Like many others, we use Ruby EventMachine to make most use of CPU time in the cloud. Instead of blocking and waiting for responses from remote systems, we just memorize what is to be done and return to the main loop, taking care other things that are currently going on. The asynchronous programming model is callback-based and makes otherwise pretty Ruby code look a bit unwieldy: server.get(key) d
Who Implemented PubSubHubbub
PubSubHubbub is now more or less 6 months old. We have daily talks with people who wonder whether they should implement it in their feeds. Obviously, it matters for publishers to know who will subscribe to their feeds if they use a hub for their feeds. Our monthly list market numbers show a pretty interesting image in terms of how many feeds are PubSubHubub enabled. Here is some more “qualitative”
How we built Analytics
We weren’t quite sure how to build these analytics. We slowly established a set of requirements and constraints Zero performance impact Fully decoupled from the current infrastructure Results at most hourly Data is more important than graphs Easily-extensible, in case we want to measure more things Collecting There are 2 ways to collect data : on the fly, when things happen, or by just collecting
Tumblr has a hub
There is not a day where the real-time web isn’t growing. It’s now time to change how our web services consume information from each other and we’re quite proud to say that Superfeedr is helping services like Tumblr pave the way. Today, we’re announcing a hub for Tumblr, one of your favorite blogging platform is publishing their feeds as PubSubHubbub via Superfeedr. I was very impressed when I met
