Topic: Let's RSS it up!

wrote Posted 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Friends, this is somewhat technical, though, I'm wondering what RSS feeds you would like to see here on zooomr beyond the ones that we've actually released.

So, please send me your ideas, and I'll try to pump-out some RSS feeds for you! :)

With love,

kristopher

I'd like to see a blog (maybe status.zooomr.com) whose only purpose is to inform users of problems/maintenance/etc.
Users could subscribe to this blog's RSS feed to know about any problems. Then, when Zooomr is down for maintenance, or when you are fixing a problem, we will know what is going on.

What RSS feeds are currently available?

I think Kris ment what Zooomr pages should also have feeds beyond the photo and zipline pages.

I think feeds for every section of Discover, for search strings (let's say tag feeds) and for sets would be very cool!

Btw, I'm looking forward to seeing the Zooomr API with JSON and REST to spread Zooomr stuff to the world!

Zooomr Sets for sure need a RSS feed.

Your own zipline would be good, especially with options for photos only, text only, or both....

Your favorites, oh and while we are at it, can we get medium size pics in the RSS feeds, instead of small. :)

I would like to see something along the lines of what Jeremy proposed. If the feed (blog) could have notices about upcoming planned outages, and then reminders like "going down in 10 min" when the time comes. For unplanned outages, some notice that you have to take it down or if after the fact, status like Jeremy mentioned.

hehe, someone's been reading my Zips lately.

Feeds that Zooomr already provides
-Your photos
-Your Zipline

RSS feeds that would be sweet to add:

- Zips you have marked as favorites
- Photos you have marked as favorites
- A general group posts feed would be cool, although not sure I'd use it
- A feed from a specific discussion in a group, instead of having to Subscribe to Thread
- A feed that belongs to each photo that can be used to track comments
- A feed for your contacts photos
- A feed for your contacts Zips
- A feed for your contacts favorite photos, and maybe group multiple fav'd photos like Social Stream does now

done thinking for now, will post a new reply if I come up with more

I'd love to see a separation of Zipline photo posts from text postings, whether this is done via RSS or maybe tabs on Zipline (or both). That way we could follow just photos or just discussion. It would make it easier to follow our contacts.

I agree with Jeremy as well for a general system status feed, but I'd like to see a Social Stream feed, so you can see activity on your photos in one RSS feed.

I also vote for contacts photos too.

Actually, I'll also second @dbcohen's request for RSS feeds for specific discussions in groups as well. I was just trying to find one for this discussion so I could watch it, and saw that there isn't one.

Seconded on contacts' photos. Especially considering that people post more than Zipline handles for an upload (over 4)

I like the idea of being able to use different sizes in the feeds as well, but only if the permissions mudule is in place!

Celine, you can already do that by clicking on the type icon next to the message or update:

Only my Zips: http://www.zooomr.com/kristopher/?acat=18
Only my Photos: http://www.zooomr.com/kristopher/?acat=1
Only people I add: http://www.zooomr.com/kristopher/?acat=8

Huh, that's well-hidden. I never clicked on those icons. How about adding a title attribute to those icons giving some explanation to what's happening when you click on them.

As for feeds: I'd like to see seperate feeds for friends and/or family only photos (links to those feeds of course only visible accordingly). And maybe a feed for *all* of my photos (even private ones) which I could hand out privately (for people who aren't on Zooomr) – working like non-listed album links on Picasa.

And of course I would like feeds for comments: comments on my photos in general and comments on individual photos (of others). Did I mention I would like to see comments to my photos (not the number bit the text) show up on my zipline? So I don't have to check social stream?

RSS feed of threads in a group (no updates/message counts, just a live thread list, essentially).
RSS feed of a specific thread.

i don't mean to be an ass but, forget feeds. what would it take to keep the site from going down so much?
wrote Posted on March 26, 2008 (permalink)
social stream really needs an rss feed.
and also a favorites rss feed would be really nice to have.

I would love it if you would have an rss feed of just one of your specific tags.

Is there a way to do that so it combines all of my contacts into one thread? I see how to do it for individual users, like in your examples. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

So Kris, what's the plan for this going forward?
wrote Posted on April 2, 2008 (permalink)
@ KT & Celine. I think it would be good to see just the text components of the general zipline (for all contacts) and just the photos added etc... I had noticed the icons and their function before, but don't use them much. I think that is what Celine meant - and No I don't think you are missing something, unless I am too.

RSS for:
New groups.. i.e a new group has been created, here are the details. Will be good when we get the promised update for groups!

I'll second the RSS in specific group topics.
