edgeio launches “instant listings”

Opinionated

…it ain’t nobody’s business but my own :-)

Looking at Sovereign Debt

I am in Heathrow on my way to Cape Town for the World Cup. Sitting in the lounge I was watching Japan v Cameroon on the TV and, as the game was boring, began to read the Independent newspaper. Then this graphic caught my attention.

After Chirp, is Twitter related investing still smart?

Robert Scoble cornered Ron Conway in the hallway at the Chirp conference yesterday and in the aftermath of Twitter acquiring Tweetie, and announcing their own URL shortening service, asked the big question. Is it still sensible to invest in companies seeking to expand or enhance the use of Twitter in some way? Ron is unequivocal in his answer. For what it's worth I think Ron is right.......

Popular Science Mag implements Mag+ vision

Mag+ live with Popular Science+ from Bonnier on Vimeo. No comment really. I do think video and audio are missing from this vision, but it is a great first step.

Many of you will be familiar with the project I have been incubating over the past 18 months or so. s.erious.ly. It is predicated on two ideas. One is the trend (now almost complete) of the deportalization of internet content. The second is the success of companies like Glam Media and Sugar Publishing is proving the value of passion based content networks. Today, the 4th site in the group was laun...

Internet and TV, are we at the tipping point?

Walt Mossberg today reviewed a couple of new technologies that allow you to beam video from a PC to a TV wirelessly. Pretty cool, but IMHO there is not a big demand for this. More interesting is the discussion about whether we are at the tipping point between TV and the internet, where more and more people will get their video from the Internet. In the video below Walt is a sceptic, but his ...

Deportalization and Internet Advertising

Glam hired a new guy today. Techcrunch, VentureBeat and PaidContent all posted about it. All of the reporting on this hire focus on Glam's coup in getting their man, and on their profitability heading into Q4. There is little in the way of analysis, which is probably quite reasonable on a news-filled Monday morning here on the West Coast.. As TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid reports: Glam Media h...

Real Time Streams

John Borthwick has captured in words what many have been grappling with in a less articulate way for about 18 months. The new paradigm we need to think about the internet has finally emerged. This snippet outlines the broad trend: Start with this constant, real time, flowing stream of data getting published, republished, annotated and co-opt’d across a myriad of sites and tools. The s...

In Defense of “nothing”

Columnist Henry Porter is generally considered to be a wise observer of the human condition. Today, in an article in the UK Guardian owned Sunday, The Observer, he blew it ..... badly. As a newspaper man he ought to have been aware of his almost certain bias and perhaps counted to ten before pushing "send". And, given that he didn't, his editor should have saved him from himself after the fact,...

RSS has peaked! – Forrester. Nope, it hasn’t! – Me

Forrester released a report today ($279 download if you want it). Titled "What's holding RSS back?" it claims that only 11% of Internet consumers use RSS and that those who have not don't understand it. Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion responds that : "..while feed adoption may have crested the idea of online opt-in communications is just getting going. The Facebook newsfeed, Twitter and Frie...

OpenID and Data Portability

Nicolas Popp - a leading advocate of Open Identity and data solutions - posted on his VeriSign blog today following the rather heated discussions that have ensued since Google announced its Friend Connect product recently. Nico's employer - VeriSign - along with Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, AOL and others, is a member of the board of the OpenID foundation.Nico's primary argument (emphasis mine) is...

edgeio launches “instant listings”

Posted By: Keith Teare on March 11, 2006 in Keith Teare,, Web 2.0, edgeio - Comments: View Comments

The product manager at edgeio, Matt Kaufman, has been working hard with the engineering team since the launch to support instant listings on edgeio. Last night they pushed the first release. Now all you have to do is enter the url of your blog on the edgeio home page and you can add any item to edgeio without having to go through the ping server and rss feed notification process. This makes the addition instant. Here is a screen shot.

Instant Listings - from Crunchnotes

This uses crunchnotes.com as the blog and edgeio displays the recent posts. The first one is checked “add to edgeio” and is added to the “Events” category with the tags “news” and “announcement”. The rest are not selected. Clicking submit enters it into edgeio.

For bloggers not familiar with tagging, or who use blog platforms that do not allow tags, or that prevent modifications to the ping server to be notified, this is the simplest way to post on edgeio. For bloggers who prefer tagging and ping servers, posting to a blog with the tag “listing” stil works. Matt posted to the edgeio blog last night. Listings are now over 12,000 (in a little under 2 weeks) and they come from over 1600 cities.

Coming soon – your own personal listings blog on edgeio.com. For those who do not want listings on their main blog, or those who do not have a blog. Matt says this may take a couple more weeks depending on priorities.
