FeedShow

When reading podcasts, Feedshow now uses a new player. The source is available for this one and it is delivered with a convenient (CC) license as well.

FeedShow receives a new feature: RSS Feeds Search.

The search engine supports “full text” search (like common engines such as Google). Only “title”, “description” and “links” are taken into account while searching (not the whole feed content).

Searching all RSS feeds at the “NY Times”: Search “nytimes“.

Improvements are still in progress to obtain more relevant results. Soon language filter will also be available.

When a feed has not changed since the last fetch, a server can answer the request with a “304 HTTP code”. Not all servers have this feature enabled, and the result is bandwidth loss.
Here’s a good idea from Scott (Feedlounge). Servers that are “304 enabled” will have their feeds refreshed faster than the others.

Geof F. Morris also listed some reasons why this should be implemented.

I like this idea and will implement it in FeedShow crawler. Crawling the feeds 5 (or more ?) times faster than the others is something that should make the webmasters think about “conditional GET” support.

The RSS feeds list on the left panel is once again faster than it was.
Some preprocessing has been added and FeedShow is now very comfortable even with a large number of feeds configuration (500 feeds is considered a large number !)
Other improvements are on the way…

FeedShow forums are now opened. Blogs are great but can’t satisfy all needs. These forums should help to track all of your questions, all your needs or anything you want to say about FeedShow.

I will try to improve this PunBB software and add a trackback feature so that you will be able to reach this forum from your blogs (may be some of you know about a “plugin” that can do the job) !

I will try to answer all questions or request. Don’t hesitate, just tell me you think about FeedShow.

Some FeedShow users experienced some difficulties (with Internet Explorer) when refreshing the left pane menu (feeds list). To solve this random issue, some modifications were made in this menu (AJAX suppressed). Now it’s a bit slower than it was (initialisation sequence), but it should be more robust.
Thank you to give me your feedback if you experience any problem.

A week before, Feedshow (beta) was launched.
Since then it has received great feedback and I would like to thank all of you who wrote about FeedShow news reader.
