Web 2.0 Announcer Buzz


September 24th, 2006

As the sources continue to grow, and the dailly ammount of news is getting bigger and bigger, I thought to create a system that will help you to see the top stories from each source in a seperate form.

That new feauture is called Web 2.0 Announcer’s Buzz, and you can reach at http://web2announcer.com/buzz/

Also it works with tags, so if for example you want to see the top news regarding php you can go to http://php.web2announcer.com/buzz/


2 feeds added


September 23rd, 2006

Thanks to your feedback we added two more feeds to the web 2.0 announcer service.

I am talking about the feeds of web 2.0 list and topix.

In case you would like to see news from another site in web 2.0 announcer, feel free to post here.

Soon we will add more feeds too :)


Web 2.0 Announcer plugin for wordpress


September 22nd, 2006

Just finished with the web 2.0 announcer plugin for wordpress.

This small app will add web2announcer’s top tags (in a tag cloud form) in your blog’s sidebar.

You can see an example of the plugin in this blog (see the ‘Web 2.0 announcer top tags’ section in the sidebar)

If you want to try it download it from here, and see the instructions. The plugin is designed for people that have no web design skills, so don’t be afraid to use it if you are not a technical person :)

If you have any feedback/issues, feel free to post a comment here.


Dealing with social bookmark spammers


September 22nd, 2006

It seems that even the big social bookmarks/news services can’t deal with spam…

Today I saw a lot of spam entries mostly from del.icio.us and that makes me a little nerve.

So we have just added some filters and we hope in the next few days or week they will be able to make web 2.0 announcer a spam free resource :)

In addition this new module will help prevent topic duplicates (from stories that covered in multiple sources)


Socializer is the top rated module at google modules

I would like to thank everybody who voted for our module, and I am really glad that you like it so much :)


Second development phase starts


September 20th, 2006

After about 20 days of a ‘real mode’ test, and the correction of several bugs, we are starting the second development phase of web 2.0 announcer.

Some of the plans are to add some extra feautures for webmasters, and propably an API which will help developers to integrate their apps with web 2.0 announcer.

If you have any ideas, please post a comment. Feedback is allways welcome :)


Listible feed added


September 3rd, 2006
