Feedster’s Makeover

Steven comments about Feedster’s new look.

Sweet!

Addendum: Scott Johnson credits those responsible.

I really like the XML button for the Feed of the Day, but I keep not-so-secretly hoping they’ll link to the Feed of the Day archives, too.

The wiki for developers is exciting. I wonder what they’re going to do with it.

The list of recent searches is a nice idea. I just did some searches that didn’t appear on the list, though. Perhaps part of that is because one generated an error. Perhaps another part is because I cause all sorts of chaos when I try to use Feedster. = ) It sees me coming and turns and runs.

I especially like that they’ve linked to something explaining why people should use Feedster. /me gives Feedster a thumbs up Yea! Marketing! Now for some Feedster merchandise, like ball caps, T-shirts, or buttons.

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Also thanks for pointing out the feed of the day archive. I will definitely think about adding a link to it from the main page (although it’s not just my decision ;-) ). And I’ve now added redesigning that page (somewhat) to my to-do list.

    As for the developer’s wiki, we’ve actually had that for quite a long time, but never drawn any attention to it, and we had another wiki once but unfortunately that got filled up with spam. I’ll try to keep this one spam-free. Feel free to add suggestions to it, or anything else you feel is appropriate.

    And *I’ve* got a Feedster shirt *and* baseball hat :-)

    I’ve been nudging various Feedster folks about linking to the archive for a while. Good luck! I think one of the big weaknessees of Feedster is the architecture. There’s a lot of good content on the site that gets lost because people really have to dig to find it.

    I’m envious of your Feedster merchandise. = )
