How OraNA.info Aggregates Blogs.Oracle.com

Started by Eddie Awad · 8 months ago

On July 1st, blogs.oracle.com was migrated to a new platform, Six Apart’s Movable Type Enterprise on top of Oracle Content DB. The list of Oracle related blogs (authored by Oracle employees and non-employees) has moved to this page on the Oracle Wiki. Only Oracle employees are el ... Continue reading »

Hey Eddie,

I think that's fair. Everything stays in the mix but you don't have to kill yourself keeping up.

We want you working on your next web 2.0 brainstorm. ;-)

Its good for me.
With the regular feeds, is it possible to get a feed of new feeds. By that I mean, a feed where we can see that 'so and so' has been added to the aggregator.
There's some blogs where I subscribe to the comments as well as the main feed, so it would be nice to be alerted when someone new is added to the fold, so I can decide what i want to do about them,

@Gary what I can do is to add a new category to OraNA.info called "Recently Added" for example. This category will have a feed that you can subscribe to. Every time I add a new blog to the aggregator, I will also add a quick post to the "Recently Added" category on OraNA.info. I just have to remember doing that, though.

Eddie that would be great and it would avoid duplicate posts. orana.info has been my one stop shop for everything oracle anyways

I would second what Fuad said. I also like the idea of the 'recently added" feed on oraNA.info.
Your spam protector made my head hurt this morning: ten Plus Four? I had to think about that for a second. I was sure the answer was "good Buddy"

@Fuad @Bradd thanks for your feedback.
@Bradd you should brush up on your math skills :)

FYI, non MT blogs, like ours are not yet aggregated into blogs.oracle.com. I think Carl Backstrom is also in that boat, since his is Blogger.
Please keep the non-MT blogs in OraNA.info. I will buy you lunch at your restaurant of choice here or during OOW :)

Sounds good to me Eddie. Darn all that Oracle blogging activity!

By the way, when we read from the aggregator, is there a limit in the number of posts it sends us on a request? I note you're definitely aggregating my blog (because I can search the OraNa.info history), yet my posts don't always come through the aggregator.

Thanks for the great service. I really appreciate the time you put into these things for the benefit of others.

@Jake yes, I was thinking only of blogs whose URL starts with http://blogs.oracle.com. Employee blogs that are not on blogs.oracle.com will continue to be aggregated by OraNA.info. So, no need to buy me lunch, however, having a lunch with you is always a treat.

@Chris Hmm! In addition to the main feed, your blog is also aggregated under the category "Java Tools and Frameworks" http://orana.info/category/java/ (RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/orana_java) I sure can see your latest blog post there. The RSS feed has the latest 20 entries at any time.

OK guys, implementation done. OraNA now aggregates the blogs.oracle.com feed. I have also created the OraNA updates Twitter channel (RSS) to publish site news and recently added blogs.
