Feedonomics

We released the new user interface for the Grazr widget yesterday, and it seemed to go smoothly. I think Mike did an amazing job. He really is an extremely talented coder. Last week was a year since I first started talking to Mike about Grazr, so I guess this is its birthday also.

This example comes from the GrazrScript tutorial, and it shows how to create a custom sports news widget. I’m starting a book project next month that will have me blogging on GrazrScript programming like this every day.

With this release we have finally come to the end of the current development path for our little widget. It is all grown up now. There will be a few more minor changes, but for the next year almost all of our attention will shift to the rest of the Grazr product. You can expect to see big changes in the Grazr.com website and the GrazrScript language fairly soon. We are also completely rewriting our feed database technology, but that won’t be visible as new features until later this year. I don’t mean to be coy, but we’re still finalizing our feature set, so I don’t want to promise specifics that I can’t deliver.

Mike isn’t the only one building all this new stuff. We have hired 4 of the best programmers from my last company, Andover.net, and they each have over 10 years of Web development experience. We are still looking for a few more Perl and JavaScript coders to join us. If you want to know more, send a resume to [ jobs AT grazr DOT com ].
