50,887 readers can’t be wrong

with 4 comments

I shit you not. Look what I got:

Can't be wrong.

I *usually* have 15 readers on average (that’s according to Feedburner stats — I’d think significantly less than that, say, three?)

Borken chiclet, then? What’s the matter, Feedburner?

Pinoy Tech Scene OPML

with 2 comments

Update: Ka Edong gave me a heads-up on Nox’s mirror of Pinoy Tech Scene. Cool!

Update: Ka Edong, who has been missing Pinoy Tech Scene, wants to know how OPML works. I don’t know myself, but it’s a convenient way of getting all those blogs in one place. Thanks to Migs, I’ve come upon OPtiMaL, a web-based OPML browser — just feed it the URL to the OPML file, and voila! you’ve got your own aggregator.

The Pinoy Tech Scene aggregator is currently down — a blank page shows up on http://techscene.free.net.ph. For those who want the OPML, you can get it from Jan Alonzo, here. Or grab it here.

I’ve also posted the OPML for Ubuntu-PH Planet.

Cut and paste!

Just got myself SuprGlued.

Sorry, I was looking for a catchier line, but hey, I’m excited over this thing. In a previous post, I was ranting about how to “leverage” Web 2.0 for work, when I stumbled upon SuprGlu. As their blurb says, it is “about bringing the pieces of your web content together into one central place for you, your friends, and maybe even your friends to-be.”

What SuprGlu does is gather data from various sources (Blogger, delicious, Flickr, and other Web 2.0-ish sites), using those sources’ RSS feeds, and display them in pretty themeable pages. Super! (Sorry, got carried away.) Think: feed aggregator, prettified and webified. :)

Now, if only it will also accept OPML files like regular readers… [via cut-and-paste! on SuprGlu]
