Embrace, extend, extinguish: How Google crushed and abandoned the RSS industry | ZDNet
www.zdnet.com
on 03/23/2013
Excerpt: Google Reader was born in October 2005. Within two weeks of its soft launch, it had hundreds of thousands of users. I know those details because the team responsible for developing Google Reader blogged about their progress regularly beginning with that first “Hello, Internet” post more than seven years ago. The most recent post on The Official Google Reader Blog came earlier this month, when the company announced it was “Powering Down Google Reader. ” The stated reason? According to Google’s Alan Green, “usage of Google Reader has declined, and as a company, we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products. ” It was all just one bullet on a longer "spring cleaning" post at the Google Official Blog.... read the full post.

Superfeedr : Publishers, make or break RSS
blog.superfeedr.com
on 03/17/2013
Excerpt: The truth is that eventually, the ones deciding of the RSS fate are not going to be subscribers, but publishers. Publishers, big (media outlets, blogging platforms) or small (indie bloggers or CMS users) can easily decide whether they want RSS to die or to thrive. If you’re one of these influential tech blog who makes their butter with bold statements and who claimed that RSS is dead, that RSS is a technology of the past, or something that never did anything useful to you, why don’t you just put your money where your mouth is: remove your RSS feeds, delete your feedburner account. Of course, don’t do that blindly. Do that on the course of a couple months and make sure you monitor everything. Will your frequentation drop?... read the full post.

Dropbox rolls out new API for iOS, Android to ease developer workloads
www.zdnet.com
on 02/06/2013
Excerpt: Dropbox is introducing a new API today intended to make developers' workloads a bit simpler. See also: Box weaving together old, new alliances to build global partner network
The Sync API for iOS and Android is designed to make it easier to manage connectivity, backends, and storage. For example, because the Sync API caches locally, developers can use the tool when working offline. The work is then automatically uploaded and synced with existing progress on an app when brought online. More importantly -- at least for Dropbox -- this API is touted to make it easier for developers to integrate Dropbox's cloud syncing features into their apps.... read the full post.

FTC issues mobile privacy policy guidelines
www.zdnet.com
on 02/04/2013
Excerpt: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a new set of guidelines in order to try and secure user privacy in a move that could affect companies including Apple and Microsoft. The FTC's guidelines -- although currently non-binding -- are directed at firms that develop mobile platforms and applications. Published on Friday, the report includes a number of recommendations for mobile platform developers and providers, further highlighting the FTC's focus on trying to secure user privacy as more people in the U. S. turn to smartphones and tablets. "The mobile world is expanding and innovating at breathtaking speed, allowing consumers to do things that would have been hard to imagine only a few years ago," said FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz.... read the full post.

on 01/14/2013
Excerpt: 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. We used Javascript to build our Msgboy and got more and familiar with both the language and the framework. So, we slowly decided to rewrite all the Superfeedr backend (the website frontend still uses Ruby on Rails). As always, it took us a couple days (litterally) to write the core of it, and months to write all the corner cases.... read the full post.

Webhooks Piping
blog.superfeedr.com
on 12/06/2012
Excerpt: A recent post by Progrium (aka webhook’s biggest evangelist) reminded me that I needed to show how easy it was to plug Superfeedr in a network of webhooks. Here is what you can do, quite quickly! Piping
One of the great things with webhooks is that they’re litterally just HTTP urls that can run some arbitrary code. Once you understand that a given hook can also call another hook, it’s obvious to think that you can chain multiple hooks to reach the result you want. For example, you could have a webhook that converts some data into some other data before calling another hook. Let’s say I have a Tumblr account that agregates several feeds that I really like1. I want to use Superfeedr to do that. Let me show you how it’s done.... read the full post.

Hackers target Twitter spammers in massive account data breach
www.zdnet.com
on 05/08/2012
Excerpt: Twitter is investigating after 55,000 account details — including username and password combinations — were published online. Account details seemingly belonging to spammers were uploaded to Pastebin, a code-sharing site often used by hackers to post the results of their hacking escapades. The accounts were published over five Pastebin pages — one, two, three, four, five. Legitimate users who are on the list are advised to change their passwords immediately. A Twitter spokesperson said the company was looking into the situation. ”We have pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected,” they added.... read the full post.
