Re: [syndication] Publicising that you produce RSS

[Julian Bond <julian_bond@voidstar.com>]

So with a little help from looking at newsisfree, viewing the source to
the Meerkat catalogue and some breakfast, I actually found the meerkat
export pages and worked out how to construct the rss URLs. So here's a
prize for all the geek RSS consumers out there.

O'Reilly RSS feeds
------------------ 
The basic format is http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/?_fl=rss&c=
Add the numbers given below to get each feed. 
 
Additional parameters are described at:-
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/rss/2000/05/09/meerkat_api.html?page=3
A key one is 
_fl=rss = 0.91
_fl=rss10 = 1.0

c=1029 oreillynet.mindstorms
c=1128 oreillynet.os
c=1037 oreillynet.patents
c=1243 oreillynet.python
c=993  oreillynet.rss
c=1099 oreillynet.wireless
c=989  oreillynet.xml
c=990  oreillynet.xmldev
c=5209 Composite Weblogs

The Big sites seem to have their own feeds

Openp2p
http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/?&p=8160&_fl=rss

OnJava
http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/?&p=8161&_fl=rss

OnLamp
http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/?&p=8136&_fl=rss

XML.Com
http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/?&p=6304&_fl=rss

O'Reilly Network
http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/?&p=7619&_fl=rss

I couldn't find a generic way of getting the weblogs at O'Reilly. The
Meerkat catalogue has these but they don't seem to work.

c=1093 Dale Dougherty weblog
c=1207 David Sims weblog

c=2270 Frank Willison weblog
c=1231 Richard Koman weblog
c=1129 Tim O'Reilly weblog

Enjoy!
