Steve let's rip. He’s definitely his fake self. Ok, just to set the record straight, yea I did get a free iPod, but not for that. It was for winning the “Feedster developer contest”. I love this part… Please look the other way and go implement GeoRSS for sheep tracking in Earth using kite photography for free for [...]

The past several days weren't kind ones for Web 2.0 sites starting with the letter “F”: - Findory, a news/blog content aggregator founded by Amazon.com alumnus Greg Linden, was shuttered toward the end of November. At least Linden left a note, unlike: - Feedster, the onetime RSS-feed search engine, which up and disappeared without advanced warning. From what I [...]

Looks like Feedster has finally decided to take a dirt nap. Kevin Burton says we haven't picked up the story. Maybe because we don't care about companies that fall under a category called Zombies. Burton also says there might be a buyer for them, after all. Whatever!

It appears Feedster is no more. Off into the Internet nether-world alongside Kozmo, Pets.com, and Webvan. I’ve been monitoring the situation for a week and they haven't been responding to ICMP packets the entire time. At the very minimum you'd THINK they'd give people a heads up. Put up a ‘we’re going away page’ at [...]

I worked at Feedster a few years ago. Now apparently it has sunk below the waves. It was an interesting idea with some great people, and a spectacular example of where having a bunch of smart people doesn't necessarily mean you're built for success. In responses to Richard's question though, I use Technorati. Just about [...]

Blog search engine Feedster has had the following notice on its frontpage for at least a few weeks now: There is no sign of life on the site and the Feedster blog has already been killed off (the big 404 in the sky). In terms of the blog search market in general, Feedster has been struggling for 3+ years now - this RWW post in July 2005 shows how Feedster was falling behind Technorati even then. Now...

For two days my Feedster feeds have been pulling errors. I’ve been trying to access the site…nada. I did a search on Technorati, there were no results. Nothing relevant from Google either. Perhaps it's due to technical issues but two days is a long time to be down on the internet. And no one say [...]

(Note: Scott's quotes aren't accurate below, but you get the drift) I’ve had the pleasure to chat with Scott Rafer (Lookery, Mashery, and formerly MyBlogLog, Feedster) on a few occasions. Quite frankly, the man is brilliant — but not just because of the lesson in this post that he pointed out to me. I was recently [...]
