I’ve used ChimpFeedr to create two mashup feeds but it appears no new posts are showing up. Here, have a look (the date on the first post is when the aggregated feed was created):

Any ideas as to why this isn’t working?

Hi Ben,

we are using Chimpfeedr for some time now. But it now becomes clear that it keeps on showing the feeds in the same order . SO 1st feed nr 1 than nr2 etc. We would like to be sorted in date order (combined across all feeds).

That would make the service perfect for us and I think allot of other users.

Can you let me know if you think this is a good idea?

I tried chimpfeedr with four sites and I found the final url and preview to be good, but once I added the link to another site, some larger pictures would not appear. Space would be allocated for the images but only some would appear. Any ideas?

Thanks

Greetings Ben,

I love the idea of an RSS aggregator. I tried it with about 5 or 6 RSS feeds so that I can use the ‘master’ RSS to feed into my Facebook account. It worked like a charm; I was able to see postings from my several different blogs feeding onto my Facebook wall, but after that day I no longer was receiving all of the feeds… just one post out of at least 4-5 new posts on my blogs. I waited days for them to feed through but still did not see any of my new posts coming through. How can I figure out what went wrong?

Brilliant! Sending an email to our Simian Animation Team.

Heh, I can understand. It was really just out of curiosity more so than necessity.

Man, you know what’d be awesome, is if when you clicked the Chomp Chomp button, you’d either get a sweet little Chimp animation, or Chimp chatter!

Oops, a little Amazon S3 misconfiguration there. We’re still tinkering. You can try again, but no guarantees. We had to set *some* reasonable limits here. That’s a lotta RSS to swallow at once.

Aww man, I spent the time to put in every feed address for every Google blog (using the links found here: http://www.google.com/press/blogs/directory.html), which, yes, is a lot, but I wanted to try and see what it would be like to follow all of them.

Any way, after clicking the Chomp Chomp button, I got this error: —-snipsnipbyben—–

I guess it was just too many bananas for the Chimp to chomp!
