One of our partners, Netvibes, has added something super cool and handy.
Within your Netvibes Universe, you can now search Google without leaving your little space. The results show right within your start page and it makes Netvibes even MORE useful.
Now you can not only add widgets, read your email, view flickr photos, and of course share stories to ReadBurner…but you can do all of your googlin’ there too.
Nice work Netvibes.

Posted by: drew in: YOU, event, fun, interwebs, readburner, readburnerweeklylive
What an awesome episode of ReadBurner Weekly LIVE! Our guest Allen Stern from CenterNetworks came on to discuss a post of his about conferences, and Robert Scoble joined the call.
We went about an hour and a half but it’s totally worth the listen. We were also joined by Gary Bacon of PixelTalent and Stowe Boyd. What a great group of awesomesauce folks.
We covered FriendFeed, Twitter, Wall-E, ReadBurner updates, your questions and feedback and more!

A little lightbox upgrade for your Wednesday afternoon
02 Jul
Posted by: thomas in: readburner, tech
First and foremost, a big thank you to everyone for the great feedback!
We did away with the loading screen (the hypnotizing wasn’t working!). Now, instead of having to wait for everything on the page to load, it will load the same as any other web page.
We also made the lightbox size dynamic, based on the size of the browser window.
Check it out and let us know what you think…

Google changing the search game. What do you think?

This is a hot piece of news on ReadBurner right now, and worth talking about. I found it on ReadBurner, since I don’t subscribe to this blog by Google.
Apparently, Google has come up with a way to search through Flash content. That means all of the text buttons and such within your flash intros and dancing hula girls could be indexed in Google in the very near future…this baby is in the wild!
This is huge because a lot of designers shy away from heavy flash usage because it hurts their indexing. This could really re-open the doors to flash for design on the web, and not just for videos.
Join the conversation here on ReadBurner!

Nikos from Webtropic says “Eff it I want Wordpress.com Chicklets”

Posted by: drew in: YOU, news, readburner
As you know, Wordpress.com doesn’t allow javascript. Boooo, right? No ReadBurner chicklets for us until we do something about it, right?
Wrong, Nikos figured it all out and blogged it here.
Hooray for Nikos, thank you!!

In case you missed it, last night we did ReadBurner Weekly Live with Duncan Riley of Inquisitr. Adam and Thomas filled in as hosts (Adam from a street corner in DC), and we talked about a wide range of topics including Duncan’s new blog, RSS and copyrights, Google Trends, the latest ReadBurner news, and balancing personal relationships with startups that don’t make any money yet.
Duncan also made an announcement about where he will be guest posting soon. Listen below … the actual show starts around 4:30 if you don’t want to listen to Thomas try and figure out Talkshoe:

Share on ReadBurner from your desktop with NewsGator!
24 Jun
Posted by: drew in: newsgator, readburner
Did you know that you can share from the lovely comfy confines of your desktop with our new partner NewsGator?
No?
Well…ya can.
FeedDemon (For PC) and NetNewsWire (for Mac) are readily available here.
Oh yeah, how about from your Crackberry and Windows mobile too? They have you covered.

We’re excited to announce that users of NewsGator’s products (FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, NewsGator Inbox, and NewsGator Online) can now share their Clippings on ReadBurner! This means that a Clipping is counted in the same way as a share on Google Reader or Netvibes, and you’ll now see NewsGator users side-by-side with Google Reader and Netvibes users when looking at an item on ReadBurner:
Each NewsGator user that shares their Clippings will also get their own page in the same way users of other services do, so they can keep track of how many times their Clippings are being shared and see who else is also sharing them. To share your NewsGator Clippings, go to our “Add Feed” page and follow the instructions. Nick Bradbury of NewsGator has also posted about our partnership – check out his post to get some more specific instructions to make sure your Clippings get included!
In other news, we’ve made a UI enhancement that we think both users and publishers will love. Now, when you click on a headline, the full story from the originating site will load in a lightbox on ReadBurner. As opposed to other services that pull in the full RSS feed, this means that the publisher’s entire site still loads, and it means that users can leave comments there too, all without leaving ReadBurner. Of course, if you prefer to just visit the site directly in a new window, just click the red arrow next to the headline and you can do just that.
We hope you enjoy the changes and we warmly welcome NewsGator users to the ReadBurner family!
