Pulling in RSS feeds?

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:45:08 GMT

It's been a long time since I posted anything sensible anywhere. I guess this is the best place to start a fresh. Blogoforum has come a long way. The new look is kinda interesting, though I still have to get used to it. :) Somewhere in the recent past I stopped having conversations across the web. One of the primary reason for this was my shift to a career in media, specifically as a Radio Jockey in a local Radio Station here. One of the other reasons was I bought a domain and started my own blog - though, I don't post there too frequently either. :D The one problem that repeatedly comes back to me in all the trawls of the web, is the scattering of my conversations across the place. Comments, Blogs, Profiles, Identities, all of these exist in varied numbers and in various stages of lethargy. Haviung a centralised identity system is scary - at least, I perceive it that way. The other alternative, as I see it, would be to group individual elements in a unique place, while allowing the other identities to flourish as they are. I see that potential here at Blogoforum. To start with, for example, if I could simply pull my RSS feeds here, but at the same time keep a link back to my main blog so that people could return there to comment, it would render my existence so much simple. With most of the web 2.0 start-ups and players accepting XML as a universal 'language' maybe that could be a potential USP for Blogoforum. Maybe I am rambling, but maybe there's a gold mine in that idea. Anyone care to take that up? - 1 reply

Who the hell is phillhow

My main interest is the delivery of technical support on the Internet. I will write mainly about that. The nature of "help" sites is changing from a very static Q and A format with users on one side and experts on the other; to a more dynamic distribution of information in well organized pieces that serve to educate rather than rather than just answer questions. Right now there are 5 main types of help sites: The contest or game style sites like Experts-exchange... Q and A taken to the extreme. These are on the decline in importance. Conventional forums like Codingforums. Not a popular as they once were, and many are badly run or neglected. Some will survive, but only as a reminder of how things were. Social news and discussion sites like Digg. These are very inconsistent in quality, and most like Digg fail to remain focused on the tech areas. They are sort of backward Q and A. Someone posts what they think might be an answer and the questions sort of find it through community voting. Right now these sites are the darlings of the geeks among us, but whether that is short term or long term is yet to be determined. Collections. Collections of related articles, collections of downloads, collections of snippets, directories of sites or blogs. Sometimes the answer to a problem, but without much support. There have always been collection, there will always be collections. They may evolve to support different types of collections like del.icio.us; evlove further or turning into something a little more organized and usable. Article and tutorial sites like Experts Round Table. The devlopment of permanent content generated from discussion, research and peer review looks like a good idea. It probably will not appeal to the Venture Capitalist, because it is the only current format where a small group of experts can compete with much bigger sites without needing advertising or big bucks; by generating a little buzz and making quality content available for free. Which reminds me to post http://www.expertsrt.com to give them a little buzz from here. I am going to be up front and tell you that I think Experts Round Table and other sites trying a similar approach sre the future of tech help on the Internet. I'm not going to post links to the big sites with wal to wall ads and paid subscriptions. The greed owners and their VC friends already make too much money. Over time I will be reviewing some of the help sites on the Internet with bias toward free sites, ad free sites, and sites that generate mostly original content. I will also comment on trends point out the good the bad and the ugly; and do everything I can to promote good article sites especially Experts Round table. BTW, if you think you would like to be a tech writer; instead of hiding your work on a blog, contact a tech article site. Then you will get support and help developing your article. I know my friend COBOLdinosaur at Experts round table would be glad to hear from you. See y'al later. ** If you need as answer ask anyone who calls thenselves an expert; I you want to learn find a teach, Mentor or guru. Experts only know the answer Mentors know why it is the answer. ** - 2 replies

What is Blogoforum

Fri, 15 Sep 2006 11:04:59 GMT

What Blogoforum is? What is it now, and what it can be in the future? Let's suppose somebody would create a universal discussion place to exchange information about everything. What would she end up with? Something like Google or Yahoo groups, or forum like MySpace forums which has 20+ sub-forums with sub-sub-forums and so on. Can we get something more? Blogoforum takes new approach. How to navigate through a sea of messages about anything? How to categorize messages properly and identify spam? How to give the power from moderators to users? How to find what's important or interesting? How to find an expert on a topic of your interest? Moreover, how to move the discussion smoothly from one topic to another, as it happens in real life, while keeping interested person on topic of her interest? The place we build here is aimed to solve this. Ideally, Blogoforum will be the new, better global knowledge exchange tool about everything. Now, it differs from today's forums radically, if not revolutionary. You will find no fixed forum hierarchy at Blogoforum. Did you ever experience frustration about which sub-sub-forum to post your message in? No longer. No more wrong sub-forums. Blogoforum posters use message keywords to categorize messages. Blogoforum has "forums" built around each keyword or set of keywords. To find messages of your interest, navigate Blogoforum using keywords of your interest. Browse messages about web 2.0, or narrow your search to web 2.0 idea. While writing the message, give it keywords you think are appropriate. Blogoforum will arrange a forum around each of your keywords, so you can get an instant discussion place around any thing of your interest, narrowing it down as you wish, using for example product or location name or something else. Blogoforum takes care your post to be noticed by people using Google or other search engines to find info on the same topic. Ever wanted to put the message into more than one sub-forum? Do you think it would be natural to put your story about traveling to California beaches to forums about "surf", "california", "ocean", "travel", "photo" and "car"? You can assign more than one keyword to your message. Moreover, who do you think should decide which category to put the message into? Should it be the message author, or moderator, or maybe you? Blogoforum think it's you. Now if you spotted the message within category you do not think are appropriate - give it keywords you think are correct. Say spam goodbye. As somebody writes more on some topics, Blogoforum will show her messages under her blog, her topics growing in size under her blog, and her name growing under those topics. This way, you can identify experts on topics of your interest here, or grow a reputation of an expert yourself. Discussion threads. Ever seen long multiple-page thread where valuable information is buried somewhere deeply inside, while the discussion jumps from one topic to another confusing newcomers and giving work to moderators? Time to change it. You will find no common discussion threads here at Blogoforum. Instead, any message is potential discussion-starter. Blogoforum will try to recognize thread-like patterns and show replies in a list or tree-like structure. Naturally, someone's post may raise new questions or different topics to discuss, so you are allowed to assign your own set of keywords to your reply, thereby starting a new discussion. This experimental system still has to prove itself. What do you think on the idea? Blogoforum is work in progress. Blogoforum's future is defined by you, people who use it to ask something or get some valuable info. If you miss some feature or have a thought of some improvement - write about it, and it likely your suggestion will be implemented and you will see it live. Upcoming features may include "popular messages" and "discussion groups" aimed to people who miss old sub-sub-forum hierarchy. Now who are the people who build Blogoforum? It is you, people who post on Blogoforum on topics of your interest, and Denis Krukovsky, the guy who knows a bit about programming, but makes English typos sometimes, which is natural since his mother language is Ukrainian. One of things why he started Blogoforum actually was because he wanted to respect replies of his readers and treat them as valuable and potential discussion starters. Thanks to Shrikant Joshi (his Blogoforum blog), Lindsay Donaghe (Lindsay's suggestion), Jason Brinkle (Jason's Blogoforum), Zef Hemel (Zef on Blogoforum), Maciej Blizinski (his Blogoforum), Nicolas Noben (Nicolas on Blogoforum), and all other people who provide valuable suggestions, tell friends about Blogoforum, or simply read what happens here! You can read previous "about Blogoforum" post if you are interested.

Frontpage views

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 07:49:32 GMT

I'm thinking about what to show on the frontpage of Blogoforum. A list of recent discussion like currently present is a must of course. And so is the tagcloud. There are different tagclouds to consider, however. I can think of two: 1. A "what's being talked about now" tagcloud with popular tags in the past x days. 2. A more general "what's being talked about" with all-time tag popularity. Although this is probably less useful. Then what also would be interesting is a list of "hot" topics, topics that got the most hits or most replies, or the most replies in a short period of time. I think some sort of digg/reddit-like voting system is necessary too. But you already looked into that I saw somewhere. This rating also should be taking into account with the "what's hot" topic list.

Web Design

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 09:17:37 GMT

I'm trying to improve Blogoforum website design. Khaled from SitePoint forums gave me link to this color scheme chooser tool, and there is interesting color scheme tutorial. Hmm still wonder how to use the tool color results. I would Blogoforum to be very light and slighty orange warm. Maybe visited link color was the problem? I changed it from dark violet to blue. Moreover, Mark from http://www.siteprocentral.com/ provides a form to ask him web design help. I asked Mark for advice regarding Blogoforum, would be interesting to hear the answer. - 1 reply
