myFeedz released on Adobe Labs
Today, we released myFeedz as a technology preview on Adobe Labs. This release marks the rebranding of myFeedz under the Adobe identity. So here’s the new myFeedz logo:
We’ve been busy working on several bug fixes, improvements and features:
- Default user profile for Adobe products and technologies. People who sign up have the choice of automatically building a tag profile made up of Adobe product names and technologies.
- Guest users who are not logged in see a more user-friendly message. (Yeah, we admit the old JavaScript pop-up message was ugly and annoying.)
- We’re not republishing the entire contents of articles anymore, even if the aggregated feeds are distributing the full story. We’re trimming republished content to a 300-character summary, while maintaining the link to the original story, because we want to encourage users to read the full story on the publishing site.
- Article details are not indexed anymore by search engines. This was done to address the “page ranking” issue raised by several bloggers.
- myFeedz now has a forum and a presentation page on Adobe Labs. You can share your ideas and discuss features with other users (you need to have an Adobe ID).
We hope you enjoy your reading on myFeedz. Oh, and don’t forget about the survey!
