ReadBurner – Stats and RSS Feeds with language filter
January 17, 2008
I’ve done some work today
RSS Feeds:
Finally the RSS feeds have language filtering. Here are some examples:
English Most Recent:
http://www.readburner.com/rss.php?s=mr&l=1Asian Currently Popular:
http://www.readburner.com/rss.php?s=cp&l=2Persian Most Recent:
http://www.readburner.com/rss.php?s=mr&l=3
You can subscribe to them easily over the buttons. They automatically recognize the current language.
Stats
I’m beginning to implement some stats. For this update I have implemented it on a stats page which shows Top Linkblogger, Top Sources, Top Authors, and Recently Added Linkblogger. In next releases I’m gonna implement many more stats for every clickable thing (user, source, author, general,…).
Since I’m a familiar with Adobe flex charting I will also bring you some nice charts a la Google Analytics in future.
The reason why I’m not highlighting those stats is because they are slow. I have to implement some sql caching first. If you don’t find the stats – they are next to the About and Blog Link.
More tomorrow. I’m going to sleep now…

Another day, another interesting feature. Oh wait, that’s at least two new interesting features for the day. Good job Alex!

the persian feed cannot be shown in google reader, it has encoding problem

Thanks for pointing to this.
This encoding stuff is driving me nuts and since I have to deal with various languages it’s getting even worse.
Gonna look into it.

Thanks for this …
also you can add a META tag in header of each page which recognize rss url of current page .

Just want to congratulate. The iteration result is really impressive.
One suggestion Alexander:
As you know recently FeedDemon the very powerful feed reader has become free. But the problem it is not synch with shared items in google reader and is only synch with NewsGator.
If you find a way to create a standard online interface between GoogleShared items and NewsGator it will be boost. Imagine the power of FeedDemon plus the sharing feature of google reader.
The idea will be something like this:
FeedDemon NewsGator ReadBurner NewsGator Feed Demon
In the ReadBurner profile, users can define their google reader and NewsGator address. All their shared items will be merged and shown in ReadBurner.
I know you may be limited of resources, but consider this one, it is really a great potential.

I just looked at NewsGator (never tried it out before).
Do you mean you want your “clippings” aggregated like the google reader shared items, have them shown within ReadBurner and ignoring duplicate shared/clipped items?
Or are you asking for something else?
January 21, 2008 at 11:10 am
I suggest you gather shared items from NewsGator and GoogleReader. This is the first step.
The next step is you gather shared items from all major feed readers.
You will soon become a Shared Feed Aggregator, a portal for all shared items. Users can define in their ReadBurner profile all their accounts, and everything they share anywhere, will be shown under their name in ReadBurner.
ReadBurner will become something like digg.com, but the input is coming from feed readers.

Yeah. That’s a possible vision

While we’re begging for features, could you create a FeedFlare for ReadBurner? So I’m not being entirely useless, I’ll even link you to the FeedFlare API: http://code.google.com/apis/feedburner/feedflare_dev_guide.html
Thanks for continuing to make ReadBurner better Alex!
