Charlie,

 

I am using the correct one, when I browsed the link you provided, I still get mostly non CF stuff.

In a move that's not-at-all-designed-to-create-an-internet-buzz, AJAX calendar app Kiko is for sale on eBay.Starting price US $49,999.99. No Bids yet.In the interests of completeness, I should point out that they're not the first, by a long way - which market sector do you think got there first? Of course - porn!. The listing states We are selling Kiko because we want to have time to work on other projects as a development team....and not because they are now in direct competition with Google, o

I was lucky enough to have been able to get an invite for Google Analytics a while ago.  I have used it for on a few sites, and the amount of information collected is astounding. Google has announced that anyone can now sign up for Analytics. Oh, yea, and its free...at least for now.

A few weeks ago I picked up the Prey demo for the XBOX 360. I loved it. While it wasn't terribly original, it did had a few cool gimmicks and I thought the beginning of the game was pretty darn cool. I actually stopped playing the demo and waited til... [More]

After much griping about my Get Firefox banner, I've added a 'piss off' (read: opt-out) link to the banner that will set a cookie so you won't see it again for 30 days.  After that, it'll tell you you still...

Subject: [cfaussie] misunderstanding? RE: [cfaussie] Fullasagoog a waste of time.

 

Hey, Dale, I've seen the other posts on this since you wrote--bloody yank, just getting started in our timezone :-), and I want to dial things down and ask whether there's something amiss. I suppose I may well have been the one to bring the 'goog to your top of mind (I recommended that he get his blog added there so more folks could learn of it). Like many here, I am a fan, and I wonder if there was just some misunderstanding.

 

The screenshot you offer: is that from an RSS reader you have? I ask because when I click on the link shown at the top of that page, it just goes to fullasagoog.com (the front page), not the CF-specific stuff. Is it possible that somehow the feed you got wasn't the CF one? In that case, sure you would get heaps of non-CF stuff, since the 'goog aggregates a wide range of MX-related blogs (and as others have said, within those you have the chance of some one or more also doing non-mx stuff).

 

I press this point because (like others here) I do think the 'goog to be an incredibly helpful service and spread the word of it whenever I can. Whether using their OPML (feed list) to populate your own reader, or just visiting the website once in a while (as I do) just to keep up on what's happening, it's always proven VERY useful and topical.

 

So here's the URL to see what it says about CF blogs in the web interface:

 

http://fullasagoog.com/index.cfm?blogcat=ColdFusionMX

 

And if any have missed how to limit it (I don't mean you, Dale), the "pick your poison" drop down is how you get it to the particular topic area you want. (Just how the blogger identified themselves to Geoff-not something automated like the MXNA smart categories, which are indeed a nice solution if one STILL finds the CF feeds too off-topic).

 

Then the RSS feed for CF blogs is: http://www.fullasagoog.com/xml/ColdFusionMX.xml. I just compared it and it is serving the same content as on the web page, so all seems good there. I really have to think that somehow your reader wasn't looking at that feed.

 

I do hope you (and others) will give it consideration. For those interested, I highlighted the 'goog and MXNA in a 4-part series of blog entries on "keep up with the news", starting here:

the others are in the category: http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/news

Subject: [cfaussie] Fullasagoog a waste of time.

I recently dropped all my favourite feeds in Google and put in Fullasagoog Coldfusion Blend instead.

 

Wow, am I disappointed. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’m wasting my time here. I think someone at Fullasagoog should do something about it. Here’s the current top 9 Coldfusion Blend Entries

 

fullasagoog.com ColdFusionMX blend 

editcanceldelete

Show 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 items

1. Hey, stop talking already

2. My Real Story

3. CSS and Get Firefox

4. HostMySite.com is down

5. The truth about FLEX in business.

6. When did you loose your google-ginity.

7. Admin API ... Introduction

8. rethrow

9. Actionscript Common Function Library Survey

 

Notice anything wrong here?

 

1=Coldfusion

2=Not Coldfusion

3=Not Coldfusion

4=Not Coldfusion

5=Not Coldfusion

6=Not Coldufison

7=Coldfusion

8=Coldfusion

9=Not Coldfusion

 

Now I initially thought that it was because the bloggers were posting rubbish into their ColdFusion categories, but this is not the case, it is simply Fullasagoog getting it wrong and adding blogs that are not really Coldfusion specific to the list. I think based on the fact they might talk about Coldfusion occasionally.

 

Take number 2 for example “My Real Story”

http://jehiah.com/

 

Have a look at his blog, there is basically nothing on Coldfusion in there. I seriously think they should fix this to only pickup blogs with Coldfusion Categories rather than the whole bag of crap.
