Intro/Background

 

The Poietic Aggregator makes it possible to visualise the content of news in the form of an RSS feed on various Internet sites (Wikis, blogs, search engines, and others) for example shaped as refreshed coloured matrices every couple of minutes.

 

Colours (or small pictures) are associated with various keywords of the RSS feed according to the user’s choice. Inside one of these matrices (that correspond to a site), the "last change" is located in top on the left, the oldest change is in bottom on the right.

 

For knowing the content of the news, one has just to explore the table with the mouse. For opening the page corresponding to one of these squares, one has just to make a right click on the square in question so as to open a new window of the navigator.

 

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.

How to use it for Barcamp

 

To help customize colors/tags please visit http://overcrowded.anoptique.org/BarcampAggregator

Feel free to copy paste it onto other pages (as far as the server can assume it)

You may also create your own RSS visual aggregator here : http://poietic-aggregator.com/ap/ (a bit tricky for the moment:-)

 

Ideas

 

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

 

Feedbacks welcome

 

  • Thinking about accessibility: it should be better if you add a letter or character for each color. So that even color-blinds could benefit of this tool. Around 7% of males in the world are color-blind (see color-blindness ).
