PubSubHubbub + PuSHPress

Written by Chris F. Masse on March 4, 2010 — Leave a Comment

I have just installed the PuSHPress plugin, and this post is a test to see whether it works. If yes, this post should be indexed quickly by Google Reader (and other feed readers).
Filed in “Real-Time Web“.
UPDATE: I am so impressed, I could lay an egg. A brand-new post appears in Google Reader within seconds. I [...]

About 10 minutes after publication, some times —half an hour later, at other times. (Within Google Reader, put up your mouse cursor, without clicking, onto the time, at the upper right corner of one feed item, and they will give you the [...]

BetFair’s chart widgets don’t go into feeds.

Written by Chris F. Masse on July 29, 2009 — Leave a Comment

Why the fuck would bloggers embed BetFair’s chart widgets if their blog readers can’t see these charts when using feed readers (like Google Reader)?

Once again, we can see plainly the incompetence of the BetFair team when it comes to blogging. They don’t have the first clue. In spite of my blogging and e-mailing this issue [...]

Help me beating David Pennock

Written by Chris F. Masse on June 15, 2009 — 2 Comments

Here is the problematic:
- Midas Oracle is updated many times a day, with interesting stuff about prediction markets, collective forecasting, and other topics. In all logic, the number of Midas Oracle feed subscribers is increasing slowly but regularly.
- Odd Head is updated each time the Catholic Pope contributes to the progress of humanity (that is, [...]

Still no embedded YouTube videos to be seen in my feed reader(s).

Written by Chris F. Masse on December 14, 2008 — 1 Comment

Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).
Still a mystery.
No word yet from the WordPress authorities.
A tipster tells me that the plugin “Smart YouTube” solves the problem.
I won’t install the plugin before I get reliable info from the WordPress authorities.
UPDATE: If I embed the YouTube video in the “HTML” area, [...]

Written by Chris F. Masse on December 12, 2008 — 2 Comments

In my last post, I have embedded 7 YouTube videos on prediction markets (featuring Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures). While they work fine on the post within my web browser, they can’t be seen when that same post is displayed within a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Sage).
At this moment, I have no idea [...]

At BetFair Predicts, they are technologically retarded.

Written by Chris F. Masse on October 28, 2008 — 2 Comments

BetFair Predicts is a blog that aims at the Americans. In my view, it’s a big failure (once again).

BetFair listened to some snake-oil “social media” consultant. As an experienced and successful webmaster, I can tell you there are many flaws in their whole project and in its execution.
BetFair has hired some second-tier writers for the [...]
