RSSmeme is about to be faster than ever at finding the hot news of the day. Everyone knows that FriendFeed is fast; and I’m not talking about the speed at which the site loads (which is very fast). FriendFeed is extremely quick at crawling. RSSmeme takes 7 hours to do a round trip of it’s nearly 15000 feeds but FriendFeed is able to pick up your shared items in minutes.
So I’m now leveraging that data in RSSmeme by utilizing the FriendFeed API. This meant a lot of database and code restructuring because the data coming from FriendFeed doesn’t have some extra meta data including content, author, source, or tags so you may see some blank entries from time to time in RSSmeme (especially on the Recent tab) but hopefully that data will fill itself in as RSSmeme finds your shared items the old fashioned (slow) way.
I expect some bugs to crop up (particularily time zone issues) but I’ll squash them as fast as I can. This is an exciting day for RSSmeme; things are about to get a whole lot faster.
