Why I Won’t Be Integrating NetVibes (For Now)

Started by Benjamin Golub · 1 year ago

It’s very simple.  The NetVibes feeds (here is one) do not contain very important information in them including:
Author

Source (name and link)

Tags

Full content
Unless ReadBurner has some super secret backdoor feed that I don’t know about yet; I’m holding off.  RSSmeme is 100% ready (with the flip of a switch) ... Continue reading »

  • a full documented api is coming soon
  • Hi Benjamin,
    thanks a lot for your feedback. Actually today we don't have in our feeds all the infos you're asking:
    1/ Since in Netvibes you can share different items (widget content, urls, ...) and not only rss feeds the "author" is not always possible to have. That's why we removed it
    2/ We have the source and the direct link to the ressource
    3/ Our users don't tag content but have the ability to write comments which are included in the feed
    4/ Here I don't agree with you... Why should we use full content under the netvibes.com domain in the feeds while the content doesn't belong to us?

    I'd love to discuss more with you about about meta data and how to improve the APIs. You have my email, don't hesitate to contact me.
  • 1) Can you give us the author when it is available?
    2) By source I don't mean the link. In Google Reader if you share a story on techcrunch not only does it give you the link to the actual story but the title "TechCrunch" and a link to http://www.techcrunch.com/
    3) I don't mean users tags. Google Reader takes any tags that were in the original feed (ie any tags that TechCrunch put in) and passes it on to into the entries in the shared RSS feed.
    4) I understand this is a heated debate.
