AmphetaRate RSS Recommendation server

Project News for AmphetaRate RSS Recommendation server

  • Generous donation leads to server migration, finally

    Amplified Media Inc. has generously donated server space and processing power to AmphetaRate. As of today, all the algorithms are enabled and AmphetaRate can grow as much as it can. This will certainly lead to interesting experimentations on the AmphetaRate concept... and it makes me very happy, indeed!

  • Back on track... with server problems

    AmphetaRate has been working fine without my intervention for almost a year now. (Thank you for providing the feedback oh so needed while using the service.) But just when I decided to make time to work on the project (especially on the language filter), my web hoster simultaneously decided that AmphetaRate uses excessive CPU resources... Indeed, I have several scripts that "google-dance" around a lot. So please excuse the quality of the quality of the recommendations for a couple of weeks while I gather the money to switch to another server plan.

  • Now available for browser-based aggregators.

    AmphetaRate now allows you to rate and receive your recommendations outside of RSSOwl. Using DHTML/Javascript or plain HTML in your recommendations feed, aggregators such as Bloglines or Feed On Feeds are supported. Try it at http://service.spoon.lunarpages.com/createuid.php ...

  • Back online!

    Success! AmphetaRate has succesfully moved to lunarpages.com, which should provide us with even better services. So, the roadmap for now looks like: test the new server, provide cache-ing (because bandwidth is limited), tune language filter, implement Dave's idea about rating links embedded in the recommendations, and some ACF filter tuning. A lot of things indeed. Oh, and I forgot UTF-8 handling... Thanks for waiting.

  • AmphetaRate is offline

    The sourceforge crew has notified me that the project now uses too much resources. What was a proof-of-concept seems to have grown beyond what's tolerated by our kind host. Thus, the project will be offline for a period of ~1 week, until a migration can be completed. [Update May 28: I found a host and am copying/testing the service. I think a couple of days will be sufficient to bring the service back up.]
