Fair enough. And I have to apologize. I should have checked
first: when I looked at that list of topics from before and compared it to the
full feed of CF topics, I do see that those you showed were indeed in there. My
bad. And yes, the ones you show are there now, though the next 2 after
those were about CF. Still, you make your point.
I guess one has to decide if they're willing to accept the
chaff with the wheat. I've honestly not noticed it, or been as sensitive, I
guess. By far, when I've looked, it's been CF goodness.
I do have to say that I hope you don't rely on seeking CF
categories only within blogs you watch or aggregate. Since 95% of what I mention
on my blog is CF-related, I don't cast each as being in a coldfusion
category. Instead, I use the categories to break those down (for example: admin,
charting, flex, jdbc, performance, spry, SQL Server, subversion, etc.)
Each of these are discussions of the given topic from a CF perspective.
Just sharing the observation that looking for a CF category may really limit
you.
This is indeed an interesting problem. We all know that
some bloggers will throw out personal stuff, local interest stuff, political
stuff. Some far more than others. Those will, I suppose, tend to create the kind
of broad categories you are looking to rely on.
For those, like me, who do the opposite (talk about non-CF
stuff rarely), I've long wondered if I might create a reverse filter: "all the
categories except these ones". Since I use Ray's BlogCFC, and it's CFML code
deciding how to show the category RSS feeds, it seems easily doable. I'd just
not yet been motivated myself since I have so few non-CF
entries.

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. August

Prey Review
(XBox 360) (new) Ray Camden 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...

17, 2006 06:50 PM Regards From: 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: http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/8/1/whats_happening_in_cf_part1_aggregators the others are in the
category: http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/news /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ From: 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
5. The truth
about FLEX in business. 6. When did you
loose your google-ginity. 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” 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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
