    Netvibes e google reader

    Eu sei que ja postaram sobre isso aqui, mas ou fã de rss e vibro com cada novidade. Seguem abaixo as minhas primeiras impressões sobre o google reader. O mais importante: suporte OPML. Nesta briga de readers online, quem ganha…

    thank you. you know, i thought, it would be great to have an opml export so i could try out google reader…but netvibes is vastly superior to google reader, i have no desire to move over. and yes now is the time for you guys to code like hell. if you guys can get support for the features you have in this list, you will rock, you will have something worth paying for. people are talking about you, and only now is real.

    2 of my ego feeds have an error when I enter it in Netvibes:

    BLOGPULSE

    FEEDSTER

    by the way, this is a great virtual desktop, you really seem to have a community feel…especially getting together with other services like Writely…great stuff!

    Bonjour, comment fait-on quand on veut exporter un fichier OPML valide et que NetVibes répond que "hum, quelque chose s’est mal passé avec votre fichier, il semble que ce ne soit pas un fichier OPML valide".

    Le fichier OPML validé en question : validator.opml.org/?url=h…

  11. #11 | Anatolik | February 3rd, 2006 at 07:10

    this feature doesn’t seem to work – i’ve got error in xml.

    It’s written that error in text comment – one of my feeds named in russian.

    I think that this option is really good! Thanks for describing this option! It’s really useful!

    nice site

  14. #14 | svp | July 20th, 2006 at 22:59

    very nice! +1 respect! Thanks

  15. #15 | leolana | October 9th, 2006 at 16:27

    for an export -> import to google reader, you need to delete the first outline tag ie : <outline title="Info" icon="http://www.netvibes.com/img/icon...
    and one of the 2 </outline> at the end of file

  16. #16 | Erinc | October 11th, 2006 at 10:04

    I had issues while trying import to Google reader and Shrook. Didn’t work…

    I’ve moved to Google Reader, simply because I’m sick of Netvibes a) being down so freaking often, or being extremely slow, and b) half the feeds I want to add are perfectly valid feeds that load fine in Firefox’s reader or in Google’s read, but they don’t validate in Netvibes. Screw that for a headache I don’t need.

  20. #20 | Samochody | November 13th, 2006 at 22:11

    Hi, how as it is made when they want to export a valid file OPML and that NetVibes answers that " humph, something badly took place with your file, it seems that it is not a valid file OPML.

  21. #21 | Stephan | November 28th, 2006 at 10:23

    I’m absolute unable to import an netvibes-exported opml file into another feed reader.

    Somehow the opml from netvies looks not valid.

    Perhaps i find a solution.

  22. #22 | Stephan | November 28th, 2006 at 10:53

    Okay… i found the solution. There is one <outline></outline> tag hierarchie to much.

    A note for the following examples. The underscores "_" are there for better visualisation of the depth.

    It has to be like this:
    <body>
    <outline text="Test">
    ____<outline text="screenshine" title="screenshine" xmlUrl="http://www.screenshine.net/d/log... htmlUrl="http://www.screenshine.net/d/log... type="rss"></outline>
    </outline>
    <outline text="Test2">
    ____<outline text="Umgebungsgedanken" title="Umgebungsgedanken" xmlUrl="umgebungsgedanken.momocat… htmlUrl="umgebungsgedanken.momocat… type="rss"></outline>
    </outline>
    </body>

    But netvibes produces something like this:

    <body>
    <outline> [THIS IS THE PROBLEM]
    ____<outline title="General" text="General" icon="http://www.netvibes.com/img/icon...
    ____ ____<outline type="rss" title="DIE ZEIT: Deutschland" text="DIE ZEIT: Deutschland" xmlUrl="newsfeed.zeit.de/deutschl… htmlUrl="http://www.zeit.de/Deutschland/i... />
    ____</outline>
    </outline> [THIS IS THE PROBLEM]
    <outline> [THIS IS THE PROBLEM]
    ____<outline title="Fortschritt" text="Fortschritt" icon="http://www.netvibes.com/img/icon...
    ____ ____<outline type="rss" title="SOA Blog" text="SOA Blog" xmlUrl="http://www.explore-soa.de/soa/de... htmlUrl="http://www.exploresoa.de/soa/de/... />
    ____</outline>
    </outline> [THIS IS THE PROBLEM]
    </body>

    I marked the problem. It’s the empty top <outline> tag.

    Hopefully this helps.
