first of all thanks for the beatiful work you have made,...
I want to import items from another blog in my soup, but not by RSS because it will only take some of items, not all the archive... same thing for flickr...
like swurl or second brain, they import items from the begining of there uses.
Did you thing is a feature you will develop once ..?!
I just found an issue with the feed importer. I was having some updating issues with vimeo so I removed the feed and all the entries and imported it again. Everything worked fine, the issue arose some hours later when all vimeo entries showed up on soup again. I believe that happened because the vimeo import was scheduled before I delete it, and the scheduler doesn't know about it.
I also noticed many delicious entries are duplicated in my soup too, maybe a similar situation occurred with the delicious import.
Another idea is to avoid the importer from importing something it already did in the past..
Feed importing isn't working at all - twitter is stuck and shows a red bar - delicious is stuck on 'starting to import. Also sometimes when I go to the feed import area I don't get any options other than -
I think YouTube favorites should be imported as videos, like Vimeo favorites are. Importing them as links gets the job done, but I think videos would be more appropriate. :)
I feel that feeds in "Me Elsewhere" should have a timestamp of when was the last fetch and when it will be the next one for each particular feed. I was asking myself today why my vimeo feed wasn't updated for a day now, and don't have a way of knowing why... :1
... or something like: "Updated 2 hours ago, fetching every 5 hours"
Maybe this helps others with the same problem, so I figured I should put it in the "problems" category
I got a free flickr account with some USERNAME. However, when I try to import images from account USERNAME I get an error "No such User" or something like that.
If you repost something somebody else imported from an RSS feed, the result is suboptimal:
* The post will still have the original favicon instead of the generic text/quote one.
* The post icon will link to the original website instead of the post, making it very hard to get the link.
* The favicon will be hotlinked from the original website: they pay with their traffic for a possibility to track me.
That's especially weird in case you create a reaction which doesn't have much in common with the original post, like this one.
I would love to have media content from source feeds embedded on soup rather than being just links to it. video.stumbleupon.com feed is a good example.
I'm trying to import a feedburner-modified feed (feeds.lolcode.com/lolcode), and I get a "steck level too deep" error whenever I try it. The underlying feed is a little unusual (DokuWiki Blog plugin), but FeedBurner really seems to smooth out any oddities. Any idea about this error message?
Does a user hold copyright on content that he posts on soup.io? Which rights does a user give to soup.io by posting content? Does a user automatically give other users the right to repost his content without prior asking?
Your disclaimer says that a user who posts any content must either hold the copyright of this content or must have the explicit permission of the copyright holder. How do you expect a user to do this when he just wants to share e.g. a random video from YouTube or a great comic?
How do you ensure that users don't include feeds in their soup.io-feed whose copyright (or explicit permission of the owner) they don't have?
Do you obey to RDF-license-tags or links with rel="license" so that e.g. content that is licensed under a CreativeCommons - share-alike license is shared with proper licensing?
Seems like Mister Wollnik is a good test case, not only did he trigger the repost-bug in my soup but I also found two small import glitches in his soup:
when I import my twitter feed (http://twitter.com/cbergmann) into my soup (http://cbergmann.soup.io/) all I get is an Error.
The only error message I get is "We're sorry, but something went wrong."
and my background color changes to white.
The tweet was already imported a time ago but i deleted the import but did not delete the posts.
Additionally my tweet is not public.
sorry for my bad english. I am not a native english speaker.
