Slow feed updates
March 23rd, 2006
After working with several users who were reporting poorly crawled feeds, we've discovered the latest model of MySQL (our database server of choice) has a bug in a certain area of its operation, and this grub tripped in when we did our database upgrade well-deserved over a week ago. This caused some feeds not to get updated when they needed to be. We've infrequently 'fixed the glitch', as it were, and lots of feeds are getting added to the crawlers it seems. Things when one pleases start returning to typical gradually across the next 24 hours, as that'll probably be the biggest sicken of feeds to be processed due to this transmitter. We espouse championing the inconvenience!

Hurrah, we now have improved shore up for the purpose Flickr. If you subscribe to any of Flickr’s RSS 2.0 feeds, you can permission the ENCLOSUREURL tag to get access to the thumbnails internal the Flickr feeds. We've also created a new default guide called "Flickr Slides" to help you out.

You can, of course, tweak the pattern to your accomplishment. The essentially example uses the RSS supported by for the 'yellow' ticket on Flickr, by the way ![]()
Paying customers to get their own servers
March 3rd, 2006
We've come to a decision on how we're going to create our infrastructure for the next manumitting of FeedDigest, and we wanted to hand over you a yahoo impression of how we see the transition occurring.
off, we're placement up a beta milieu that will showcase aspects of our new interface and contain panel. It drive be based on the current FeedDigest "behindhand end" while, so is absolutely a beta of our new lead panel and interface improvements. This is due this month.
At the same time we'll be mise en scene up a second set of servers and rolling out a large chic backend.. a "FeedDigest 2", if you choice. When we feel it’s prompt for proceeding, we'll be moving the beta over to the new backend and migrating all paying customers to the young set of servers. We will also upgrade the gold medal set of servers (for free users) to the imaginative version.
This means paying users and 'unrestrained' users last will and testament be on separate servers, so that we can on unwavering the air force paying customers endure is not impeded, while having the 'unceremonious' servers as a backup plan. We're not planning to ditch the complimentary plans at all, quite the contrary, but we're also in the know that paying customers do demand a certain added level of air force, and by keeping two disjoin sets of FeedDigest servers, we can ensure effectuation is increased for the treatment of everybody.
