Feeds Not Updating

Posted May 28th, 2009 by besternews

I've noticed that the feeds have not been updating lately.  The newest article in most of the feeds I looked at is from Tuesday.

‹ Slow again? Spotlight feeds not updating ›

Looks like everything is back to normal! Thanks guys.

 

PS: While you're tweaking around, any chance of getting Open Calais JSON format?  calaisjson maybe?

So it appears feeds are just updating very slowly.  The current newest item on Top News feed is from Thursday (It is Sunday morning in US).  I verified this with the Spotlight demo JS app in the gallery and it appeared to be receiving the same latent information.  Is anyone else experiencing this? And is anything being done?

 

Thanks,

Feeds out of Date Problem

On June 4th, 2009 andylister says:

Hi

 

Sorry for the delay (I am on vacation and trying to sort this out while on the road). The problem has been identified (DB replication problems) and is being resolved now. The service will be out for the next few hours while the DB is rebuilt and it will probably be the end of the today before it is back up, but I am hopeful that it will be sooner than that.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Andy

Have you been able to get a hold of Reuters at all?  I tried this and the feedback form and have heard nothing :-(

The feedback form. Yes, I did. Not sure anybody reads the Feedback :-(

But, yes I did communicate last week with Andy Lister, who was unaware

there was any problem with the feeds. Frankly,  I expected the guys

to DO/SAY something today... but nothing so far.

I am also disappointed that we haven't heard anything offical yet.  I'm not sure exactly when it started, but i'm pretty sure it's been almost a week since this issue arose, which seems like quite a long time to hear nothing.  Please let me know if you get anything new from Mr. Lister.

If it is just the two of us,

If it is just the two of us, no wonder the issue has NO importance to the Spotlight folks.

I have put up an Android application to access Reuters on the Android market over 3 weeks ago

and now I have about 3,000 angry and disappointed people who have liked the app

but now are very frustrated about the stale content. In effect the situation casts

bad "Spotlight" :-)  on Reuters (while not great for my PR either)

Are you sure it's just the

Are you sure it's just the two of us?  I checked with the spotlight demo (http://labs.stingrayengineering.com/spotlight/demo.html) and it looked like the top item there were also stale (Currently, Germany seals deal to save Opel, published Sat, May 30).  Although this is a little newer than the current article on my site, it is still 4 days old.I am also disappointed to see the stale content.  I am beta testing a project that's main content is provided by Spotlight and development has had to stand still until the content is current.

There's probably more folks; I've seen a mashup in the gallery likewise delayed.

I meant it looked like just you and I made noises about it :-)

Luckily, help is on the way!
