This is SuprBlog.

For all you web aggregatin’ people out there, we’re excited to announce a new feature today. Visit any SuprGlu page and you will notice that there’s a little “SUPRSS” button at the bottom of the side bar. It points to the user’s Supr RSS feed, a RSS 2.0 feed of their glu’d up content! Just point your favorite newsreader to the SuprGlu page or the feed to subscribe, and you’ll have an easy way to keep up-to-date with your friends’ activities and interests on the web. Hands down, this has been the most requested feature since our launch last week, and we hope you will enjoy this addition as much as we do!

With the addition of an RSS out, SuprGlu comes full circle with its use of RSS. Please bear in mind that users should not be syndicating content that they either did not create or do not have permission to syndicate as outlined in the
Terms of Service. If you have any doubts about the content you are adding to your SuprGlu page, you can always contact us to ask.

SuprTrivia: The title of this blog post actually refers to a semi-popular song released within the last 5 years. Any guesses?

Thanks to all our users and people who have spread the word about us. The first 6 days have been quite a ride. We’re smitten that SuprGlu managed to rear its infant head onto del.icio.us/popular in its first couple of days. And we’re further flattered to be featured in Emily Chang’s eHub and the Social Software Weblog. And much love goes out to other many bloggers who have talked about us in the last few days.

We’re now actively making and pushing small changes behind the scenes. Two questions we’ve been hearing a lot from our users and which we want share with everyone:

1. Where’s the RSS feed? This has always been part of the plan and is in the works. Rest assured it’s coming real soon!

2. Why is my page taking so long to refresh? Due to the number of feeds we’re now tracking, we had to upgrade our server and change how we’re checking those feeds. We are doing our best to be sensitive to the services which provides those feeds, and at the same time make changes to improve our ability to keep up with these feeds efficiently. Currently, you can expect your page to be refreshed with the latest bits once every four hours. We’ll continue to improve this and come up with other ways for our users to refresh their pages…

It’s worth stressing that while SuprGlu is able to fetch just about any RSS feed, it isn’t an aggregation feed reader. Readers like Bloglines or
Google Reader offer a more appropriate interface for individuals to keep up with the news. SuprGlu is about you, your digital self as represented by your interactions around other web communities. It’s about the things you’ve been reading, the music you’ve been listening to, the things you want to do or that thought you jot down last night. More on all this soon…

For now, we leave you with a few fresh lookin’ SuprGlu pages. Any user can customize their look-and-feel by editing their stylesheet (under Settings). Users can also download our handy CSS package to make edits locally before “pasting” the new stylesheet in their account. If you come up with a style which you’d like to share with others, let us know and we’ll link to include it in our default templates area and credit your name with a link!

happy gluing,

We’ve noticed that many people have tagged us with “Web 2.0”. Ahem. Just to make it official: SuprGlu is all about Web 2.5.

For anyone that’s experiencing problems adding a source, but believe that the information entered is correct, please just wait a minute and give it another try. We’re experiencing bottlenecks at the network level, so as a result we’re experiencing timeouts when we’re trying to get that content for you.

Thanks for playing, we’ll get this figured out yet!

A big thanks to everyone visiting us during these first hours of launch. We publicly announced SuprGlu through an email to our friends and family late afternoon yesterday and posted it on del.icio.us and digg. We are feeling warm and fuzzy from user responses and feedback. Everyone has been very helpful in making suggestions and uncovering bugs which we are actively tending to.

Some of the things people have been actively asking for, and which are on the top of our list include:

• More template styles! (Are you a designer? Want to help?)
• RSS feeds for your SuprGlu page (we’re on it!)

We’re happy to see everyone finding the service useful. Please keep the feedback coming and keep on gluing.

Here are a few of our user pages from the first few hours of launch and making us feel like people are getting it just fine!

A great example of using SuprGlu to pick up the pieces from a day’s activities… from photos to links to blog posts:

And we are pleasantly surprised by the number of international users that have found us! Here are a few:

Thanks, have fun, and share the love!

SuprGlu quietly made its way onto the Internet Friday, October 21. It’s a new way to publish

YOUR content from various sources around the web. As users of popular web applications like del.icio.us, Flickr, 43things, blogger, and many others, you are in effect creating little (sometimes big) pieces of content. They are bits of information that reflect who you are, what you like, and what you’re interested in. While it is great that more and more people are participating in these sites, the point of frustration is somehow keeping things together. Each site did what it was suppose to do fairly well, be it sharing photos, making blog entries, or bookmarking socially. What we thought would be fun is if we can bring all those elements of our actions and content on these sites together onto one site that takes care of all this for us. And so we created SuprGlu, the site about you which happily updates itself as you casually use any of the aforementioned services. In fact, it is not limited to these services, but rather to ANY service which provides an RSS feed for you.

There are still a few things to be worked out before we officially announce it to the world at large, but it is on its way to being a stable, happy app.
For those of you who found us early, welcome! We appreciate your interest and do welcome any feedback on how we can make SuprGlu more enjoyable for everyone!
