TUAW RSS feed woes? We're working on it

by Victor Agreda, Jr. Nov 5th 2008 at 5:00PM

Thanks to diligent tips from readers, we're aware of some issues with our RSS feeds. Depending on what you use to pull our feed (Bloglines, NetNewsWire, Netvibes, Google Reader, etc.) your subscription may be "stuck" and won't automatically update. Rest assured we are working on this with the major feed reader folks and hope to have a resolution soon. Sorry about that!

Also, we are working to allow mobile Safari users to access the full site in addition to the i.tuaw.com optimized page. Again, sorry about the delay.

For about a week now, I noticed that the TUAW and the Engadget feeds were not automatically updating then to find out that no latest news were being available through those feeds. Accessing them by Google solved the problem. I guess I'll be going through them until The problem is fixed.

Also, the only browser I can post comments from is IE7, and the only browser I can activate comments from is MobileSafari. Seriously, does anyone ever test this place, or are you too busy adding new sidebars and ad frames?

Who's checking your Omniture? I'd imagine you'd see a drop in traffic to new articles pretty rapidly. This is the first time I've been to TUAW since the feeds "froze" I can't be the only one.

You guys gotta whip your analytics person if your first indication came from readers.

Sorry to reply to myself, but this is happening to other family sites but not all, Engaget is fine, but Joystiq and Autoblog are also boned.

I suddenly had problems with Tuaw, Engadget, and Autoblog all at the same time where they weren't refreshing. Deleting the feeds and resubscribing did the trick for me. All have worked since.

Doesn't seem to be any issue with my Google Reader-pulled feed, for what it's worth.

Actually, now that you mention feeds, what's with the new disclaimer at the bottom of each Weblogs Inc. feed? It's rather unnecessary, superfluous, and, for lack of a more constructive or descriptive word, dumb. Can a TUAWer shed some light on this?

I've noticed that regardless of how the feed is accessed (Google Reader, Firefox live bookmark, Safari RSS reader, wget, curl, whatever), it is updated with new posts about 30-minutes after the new posts appear on the main site. It's been this way for months/years/ever... Kind of annoying.

Maybe you do it to drive traffic to your site to increase your ad revenue??

I use Google for the feeds most of the time and I honestly just blame them. They have great services but they're up and down more than a roller coaster.

I assure you it isn't some elaborate scheme to drive traffic to the main site (conspiracy theories always assume far more coordination than we're capable of, frankly). We've been using Feedburner for a long time and recently a number of our feeds started having real issues. I have no idea why there would be a 30-minute delay. Gremlins?

Cool! I've been looking for a good way to reboot my browser!
