rsscloud

This is my first post with rssCloud enabled. It’s not that hard, if you’ve have created the infrastructure already. The infrastructure can be found on github: github/pompiedom-rsscloud and github/pompiedom-ping.

I have been building a system of posting short posts on top of RSS and rssCloud. This system helps people to create link blogs and short posts about anything they like. Now I was thinking maybe we can build a programming news network on top of this system. There are already two systems that I know of that work with this system. One is my own, called Pompiedom.

Yesterday I already saw that Identi.ca provides RSScloud feeds, so I tried one of them out. The first feed I added was my own. The test to see if it worked was posting a message to my account. And … a post appeared in my microblogging client in realtime....
