RSS Cloud

RSS Cloud support has been turned on for WordPress.com and you can download a plugin for WordPress.org. Both are first iterations and will continue to be improved over the next few weeks, and I’ll be at the RSS Cloud meetup on Wednesday.

    I just saw this from Scoble and saw your comment on the article. Installed it. Looks very promising.

    will this be part of the next major update to WordPress? that would be a great improvement to speed up the entire idea of RSS.

    Done. Buppy has a real time blog, and so do I. He’s on .com, but I finally got over to .org and installed the plug-in today. Thanks, Matt.

    Hi Matt,

    Didn’t see a quick answer to this, so I’m asking here: If my RSS feed for my Wordpress blog is through Feedburner, should I install this, or do I need to do something on Feedburner, or both?

    Thanks in advance!
    -Erica

      So Feedburner seems to strip out the cloud element right now, but please contact their support and request that they don’t.

        I hope you do not mind, I am going to share this tidbit on my blog. That way users know. I came back to check as I was noticing the same as Erica.

        Thanks again!

        PS. I appreciate the time you took in replying to my email. Thank you!

    I installed it a few hours ago…and was looking forward to seeing how fast the rssCloud would expand. Really glad to see you mentioning the plugin here for everyone else with self-hosted WP blogs, thanks Matt.

    Now we just need to see people jump on board with more aggregators/readers.

    And for those who don’t want to implement both RSSCloud and PubSubHubbub, you can use http://superfeedr.com since we “translate” the 2 protocols :)
