Filtering options for ‘Activity’ and 9 new RSS feeds
May 27th, 2008
We just rolled-out filtering options across both the ‘Recent’ and ‘Everyone’ activity streams. You can now filter your activity stream by feeds, contacts, favorites, or see a combined view of everything. In addition to the new filters, we implemented RSS feeds for all of these views so you can repurpose the data in interesting ways.
Since the launch of the new activity page 8 days ago we have seen more and more activity on the site and as a result the stream passes by faster than ever. We wanted to make it easier to view a particular kind of activity. Want to find new and interesting people? Looking for the cream of the crop of new feeds? Want to see which feeds are gaining in popularity? We wanted the answers to these questions, that’s why we added the new filtering options.
Along with these new filtering options are 9 brand new RSS feeds for activity on Toluu. Each filtering view has its own RSS feed for your activity, you and your contacts, and even for everyone on the site. These feeds make it possible to, for example, be alerted when your friends favorite a feed or for creative developers to build plugins or widgets with the data.
The feeds can be accessed via the RSS button in the top right of the activity page (it updates based on the activity you are viewing) or via the RSS button found in most modern browsers in the URL bar.
In testing, we have found these new filtering options to be amazingly useful in diving into the activity on the site and finding new feeds or new people, and we hope you all find them useful too! Try it out at http://www.toluu.com/activity/everyone
