Charlie, If it were up to me they would be hand picked and
would need to meet one of the following two criteria.
The other option would be to force people who wanted
to be listed to have a Coldfusion category, a lot do already. And since your
using BlogCFC it would be a no brainer for you to do also. When you post to
your other categories, just also select Coldfusion when it’s relevant. Yours is one of the good ones I followed
individually before moving to Goog and would be definitely on my list. Goog
would fail as less than 50% of the topics in Coldfusion Category are
Coldfusion. I’ll post a list of all the CF specific ones I used
to follow later, hopefully others can add comments. And as I said earlier I
have no idea how to go about doing an aggregator, but I’m more than willing. Regards From:
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. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ From:
Charlie, I am using the correct one, when I browsed the link
you provided, I still get mostly non CF stuff. Instant Badger In a move that's not-at-all-designed-to-create-an-internet-buzz, August 18, 2006 05:31 AM
Boyzoid 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 18, 2006 04:20 AM
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

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.
