Afrigator ups its game

21 May 2007

While Amatomu has been pretty good at regularly releasing small improvements to their aggregator, Afrigator has gone for a big bang, releasing their new version with new features today.

Afrigator quite cleverly also created an additional channel for community participation, having started a mailing list for people to hear about their new version beforehand, and to discuss it afterwards.  Amatomu suddenly feels like a corporate in comparison (although we know otherwise).

Of interest to me is OpenID login support and a "private" aggregator of the feeds you particularly are interested in.

But, nothing dramatically exciting yet - Amatomu still leads in terms of the information they provide and the visualisation thereof.

    You've still gotta hook me up for Afrigator's competition [blog.afrigator.com]. :)

    Ciao,

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
