Project RSS Reset Gets Underway

June 1, 2008

I already have news about the little RSS reset project that I kicked off earlier today!

Corvida

Corvida has made her move over at ReadWriteWeb. Hopefully we will get some more enterprising souls to give the project a go.

Caleb

Caleb Elston, the creator of Toluu, has been a strong supporter of this move. He has decided to join us and should announcing this on his blog! Welcome, Caleb! Be sure to check out his FriendFeed Room if you need help or have questions.

Also, he has hooked me up with a bunch of invites to Toluu. So if you want to experience it for yourself, please email me at phil(at)scribkin.com and I’ll shoot one off to you. See you there!

TechMeme

Although not exactly in the same category as above, my post was featured on TechMeme! At this point, it’s no longer front-page news, but that’s ok because I took a screenshot.

More after the break…

Feeds

I wanted to go over my initial set of feeds. This is pretty much pulled directly off my Toluu profile. Since I just pruned today, a lot of smaller blogs that I was following, I dropped. I will be re-adding them back as I scout them out and check their size.

All feeds listed in no particular order.

Small Blogs: Under 200 readers	Macro Linz, Andy Skelton’s Journal, skeltoac, The StatBot, benjamingolub.com, Charming Paper blog, Charming Paper Tumblr, daniel ha is … obscurely famous, Whimsy (my old LJ blog), The Quality Without A Name, captain taco from breakfastmania, One Jason For Sale, Dustin’s Blog, introspective snapshots, Chore Wars – VALIS
Biz Feeds: These are feeds I use for tracking my blog and other keywords	DreamHost Status, scribkin, scribkin – Latest Comments in General, scribkin – Twitter Search at Summize, del.icio.us – eng1ne, Community – User Blogs – Ephraim Rose, FeedBulletin for: eng1ne, Disqus – Friends of eng1ne, eng1ne – Twitter Search at Summize,
Smart/Filter/Human Feeds	RSSmeme FriendFeed – eng1ne Shared Google Reader Feeds: Corvida Caleb E (jeff)isageek jason b Azure L Andy S
Webcomics: I’ve decided to make an exception for these since they are usually low-volume	PHD Comics, xkcd.com, Basic Instructions, FreakAngels, Lackadaisy Cats. Achewood and related feeds: Achewood, Hey, Chochachos!, grep, A Journey Into Reason
Photo Feeds: Some of my friends photo blogs	orehlrig’s Photos, Dustin’s Pictures, skeltoac’s Photos
Exceptions: I currently have 5	WinExtra, louisgray.com, SheGeeks, Woot, Google Tutor

The grand total is 43 feeds and 6 sharing friends in Google Reader. I don’t have a good handle on how many new posts a day I will get, but I’ll update later in the week with that information.

You're welcome, Lindsay! To be honest, I knew you were a smaller blog, thus
'safe' to keep on the list. The list on this post is only a starting
point! That said, you will stay in my feed list, unless you get too big or
start publishing the same news articles as TechCrunch.
