Filtering the feed activity stream

June 5th, 2008

Few months ago, we silently added a feature where a user’s activity stream can be “followed”. We simply added an RSS feed of the user’s activities as captured from all SezWho enabled social media properties. Things were calm until 2 weeks ago when Jitendra posted a HowTo on getting the SezWho activity stream into FriendFeed. We immediately got a few feature requests. We started working on some cool new things in the feed. For now, we quickly added one.

The most wanted feature was an ability to filter blog posts from the activity stream. Why? Apparently, after joining FriendFeed, the first thing people do is add their own blog in FriendFeed, hence everybody wanted the flexibility to filter their own blog posts from SezWho activity stream. Here’s how you do it:

1. The default feed url of the activity stream right now looks like this:

http://feeds.sezwho.com/activitystream/rss/Indus_Khaitan/91321

2. Add “/off=post” (without the quotes) to the feed url, which now becomes:

http://feeds.sezwho.com/activitystream/rss/Indus_Khaitan/91321/off=post

3. Yup, That’s it. Cool, eh.

We love your suggestions. Keep ‘em coming :-)

    Thanks Nishant, We’ll send the message across. Your warm message moved my mouse to “Approve” instead of “Spam” :-)

    An excellent tip and what is even better - a link to a post I didn’t see before :P

    You guys really need to integrate option to display related posts under the main post content. Try “Simple Tags” plugin. Does job nicely and will help us find relevant info!

    Cheers.
