iFeedReaders

Netscape recently started up a service very similar to Digg. Is it better? Or Worse? Or just a ripoff? You be the judge, however iFeedReaders now has a Netscape button on the Social Bookmark page. So if you like the new Netscape, you can now make it easy for your users to social bookmark your site or post.

It’s been weeks since I stated that the updated Chicklet Creator and Social Bookmark Creator were just about done.  After a few setbacks, and some re-coding, the tools are once again in testing mode.  My hopes are that they’ll get released this week!!

Keep an eye on iFeedReaders news and I’ll be sure to mention the new tools just as soon as they go live!!

The Digg bookmark button has been updated to automatically add the title to Digg’s submission forum.

Two new bookmark buttons today. Flogz and Newsvine .

Flogz is much like Digg only targeted towards personal finance and investing news.

Newsvine is a news orientated social site. Focusing on national or world events.

Each button will also make an appearance in the all new Chicklet Creator due out in early August.

For all of your visitors that use Windows Live as their portal page, iFeedReaders has now added a Windows Live button.

I can’t say that I use Windows Live as it’s sill in major development and partial to the PC/IE combination. Myself I’m on a Mac using Flock. However, I have checked it out and it does look pleasing.

A Plusmo button has been added to the feed subscription page.

Plusmo allows you to add RSS feeds to your phone or PDA for viewing on the go.

Plusmo lets you do cool stuff from your mobile phone. For example, you can locate the nearest Starbucks, find cheap gas nearby, read your friend’s MySpace blog, read movie reviews, check out neat photos, download popular blogs like Engadget, or keep track of the top iTunes hits all from your cell phone or PDA. Plusmo offers a great mobile experience because personalized content from websites is downladed to your device in advance and browsing is local and fast.

It seems that one fix, breaks another thing.  So I fix that and then it kinda works. 

It seems that people are sending all sorts of URLs our way and it’s amazing how they come up with them. Looking at what Yahoo has indexed makes me realize that I need to do much more coding to take into effect what everyone is doing.  Good news is, I’m working on it.

Slow and steady, that’s the best right??

Let me know if you come across any errors or oddities so I can do my best to work them out.

Thanks

During a little research last night I noticed that some people are not coding their feed address’ correctly. That then throws errors. So, I’ve worked some error messages in to catch a few of these errors.

Each URL that enters the site to the subscribe or bookmark page must contain http://. If not, an error will be thrown.

If you come across other errors, let me know and I’ll try to code them in better. The default PHP errors just look bad.

A new button has been added for Winksite.

Winksite claims to be ‘Mobile Made Simple’ and you can setup a mobile area to access via web-enabled phone, PDA or desktop computer.

I haven’t used it myself but I’d be interested to hear if you have.

I read on TechCrunch this morning that Earthlink has opened a social bookmarking service and an online feed reader. I had to sign up for an account and figured out the code to bring the myEarthlink buttons to iFeedReader’s bookmark and subscribe page.

The only downside is that it seems that you have to be logged into myEarthlink for the feed button to work. If you’re not, they’ll throw an error. Hopefully Earthlink will fix that soon.

On a separate note, I updated the subscription buttons to make them load faster and look a little better.
