Superfeedr Blog

As promised last month, here is a small update on the real-time feeds market. First, I’d like to insist on the method we use to collect these statistics. For each feed, we always try to determine what is the best way to get its content and push it to our...  

Today is the probably the most symbolic holiday here in the US. It’s about saying : Thank You! Thank you Stephan, thank you to each and everyone of our users, thank you to our advisors and investors, and thank you to all my friends and family who supported me and...  

We just pushed a small code update (it should be fully deployed within minutes) to our schema. Of course, this is fully downward compatible. This has been one of the earliest feature requests that we had : feed titles in the notifications. In many apps it’s crucial to show the...  

That’s true. We’ve finalized our seed investment round. It took us a little more time than expected, but we’re very happy to join Betawork’s and Mark Cuban’s portfolios. Both of them have shown a genuine interest and vision in what appears to be the real-time web. We’re also pretty excited...  

We’re very excited to be part of LeWeb’s startup competition. We will have a few minutes only to demo in front of the jury how cool superfeedr is. Needless to say that it’s pretty hard for an API-based service, and we want to show-case cool stuff created with Superfeedr! As...

Superfeedr is a very exciting venture. Yet, I am incredibly frustrated when I am waiting for someone else to make a decision, answer an email or write some code. You know who they are : these partners, customers, providers, lawyers, venture capitalists, etc… all these people you deal with and...  

We’re very excited to say that Posterous now supports PubSubHubbub and became real-time! If you’ve got a posterous blog (and you should!), your posts will now show up in real-time in any feed reader that supports PubSubHubbub on the subscriber side. What’s even better (for us), is that the Posterous...  

A few little news on this glorious sunday. Async Subscription supported with PubSubHubbub Several of our users wanted that, we did it. Up until now, we only supported the sync verification for the subscriber’s intent in PubSubHubbub. That was an issue for several people who were debugging with a server...  

Superfeedr comes from Notifixious. We followed Dave’s advice and removed many features, so much that we found a market! :) However, I am still using Notifixious on a daily basis and I know many other people do. Yet, I am not fully satisfied with it and there are many things...
