Frustrated with MXNA? Get your news as it happens!

Sez : Dan Wilson     October 22, 2007 9:40 AM

This morning MXNA was down once again. Thinking the error was on the specific blog I was on, I contacted the owner. After a few more minutes, I realized it wasn't the bloggers site, but MXNA.

I am a little slow getting started this morning, so it didn't dawn on me to blame MXNA first. Jim, I am sorry for the confusion.

For a seamless aggregator experience, you should be using the more reliable ColdFusion Bloggers or All Your Flex Are Belong To Us or http://www.feed-squirrel.com/ or http://www.fullasagoog.com/ for up to the minute information.

Here is a little tip, if you want more than the latest 10 results, append a max URL parameter to the RSS feed URL.

Or you can use feed-squirrel.com which has feeds of top items thus chopping out the chaff.

MXNA seems to always go down between 4:35 and 4:50pm Pacific every day. I assume that they reboot the weblogs.macromedia.com server at that time because I've noticed many other Adobe blogs don't work during that interval.

Is it that important if the feed is off for an hour or so now and again ?
Chill...

@Neil, @Geoff I have updated the post. I meant no disrespect.

@Tom

The quality of MXNA has progressively gotten worse. MXNA is a production application used by 10's of thousands of people. Certainly you would agree that a production application should be error free.

There are more reliable alternatives and I want to educate the public about those alternatives.

It's an aggregator. If it's off for a few minutes then your reader will sync up next time around.
If you care about an aggregated feed lots, subscribe to it outside of MXNA.
The last thing we want is a dozen CF RSS aggregators, all carrying their own copy of the same story.
