Socialmeter RSS feed generator

DOWN ⇣

Update on my previous post about Socialmeter.

SocialMeter's developer, Brian Holt, is clearly following what's said about his creation:

“It would be great if there was an RSS feed available. I may try to create one using Dapper...” TechCrunch had said.

Well, it now has a RSS generator (and a bookmarklet)!

That was so quick, did he use Dapper?

Socialmeter for feeds gets the overall social bookmark score for each URL in a feed and displays them in a constantly-updated RSS feed. So it's not exactly what TechCrunch said but it still is an unique tool: an undirect ego tool. (This is not Socialmeter's scores as feed and it will not show, Del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, Google, Jots... scores separated neither. But they are the same source, right?)

This is typically the kind of feed that needs to be monitored to get some statistics.

Update: It now does show each service scores separatly.

Hey, thanks for the bookmarklet idea and congrats on the TC link.

I decided that a feed about only one blog post wouldn't be very useful because after a few days or so the scores wouldn't change and the user would have to keep adding new feeds for every new posts. Instead I think that one feed that constantly keeps up with your blog/site is more useful. Plus, all you need to do is follow the links in the feed to see the detailed score for that post.

Yes true for a blogs, but it could be interesting for websites or for blog engines like WordPress that have permanent'pages'(or for regularly updated pages like I have.)

Great work and thanks for these great tools.

Interesting use of dapper. Maybe this means more rapid development than previously thought.

Currently, Socialmeter does not use Dapper, it's all homegrown.

I expect so, Dapper would be for those who can't change the source. but it was so quick that I wondered... :)
Currently Socialmeter relies on the social bookmarks search which are all different, and some not very good. Would there be any way to them 'homogenized'? I expect it would requier to build or use a meta search engine or crawl yourself.
Are there any future plans for socialmeter?
