Latest news from the Mashpit sphere. Update in real time

"When I want to know the last news, I read Saint-Paul" (Léon Bloy)

Intro/Background

This Visual Aggregator (called Poietic Aggregator) makes it possible to visualise RSS feeds on various Internet sites (Wikis, blogs, etc.) for example as coloured matrices updated in real time. Colours (or small pictures) are associated with various keywords of the RSS feed according to the user’s choice.

The "last change": top on the left
The oldest change: bottom on the right.
Explore the canva with the mouse.
Right click to open a new tab.

The Poietic Aggregator can have two different uses:
1) just for Internet watch
2) above all the exchange of information in real time within the communities of blog users, wikis users or users of all other systems of publications.

These developments are carried out in a logic of functional prototyping. They lead towards a reflection on the orientations of the project with a concrete testing of its functionalities. They are not necessarily to be considered as fixed implementations.

The Poietic Aggregator has been presented at BarCampParis2

Ideas

The Poietic Aggregator is a PHP/MysQl app. It would be great to make a free ajax version. Geeks welcome!

Feedbacks welcome

Any MahshPit on this subject?

• An interesting criticism lies here (thanks bootload). I know that this visual aggregator is highly improvable. That's why it could be a good subject for an upcomming mashpit... -- OlivierAuber
