We’re very excited to be part of LeWeb’s startup competition. We will have a few minutes only to demo in front of the jury how cool superfeedr is. Needless to say that it’s pretty hard for an API-based service, and we want to showcase cool stuff created with Superfeedr!
We're launching a new feature -- our rivers -- and whoever creates the coolest app from it (one person max) will get a free ticket to LeWeb!
The rivers will be freely accessible streams of data out of Superfeedr. The first one (and the one that’s in competition), is a sample of our global stream, with at most 1 message every 3 seconds: http://rivers.superfeedr.com:8001
We built this river with the newly released Compp : a small HTTP server that allows you to do Comet Streams out of XMPP traffic. It’s an AtomStream : a never endingHTTP connection that contains ATOM entries.
There will be several judges for your apps, including Astro, Julien and a few other people.The rule is: no rule other than cool! Make something, fun, useful, profitable, open-source, downloadable, web-based, or any combination of that! You can use any platform, any other API (you’re even encouraged to), any language (heard of Go?).
The only constraints are:
- it must use the river that is accessible at http://rivers.superfeedr.com:8001
- your app must be visible (dowloadable or web accessible) on December 4th at midnight PST.
- you must write a blog post or a doc page explaining what it is, how it works and how to use it!
We will let you know who is the winner on December 5th and hopefully, you’ll join Julien on the 9th!
We will give away 1 ticket to Leweb in Paris (1500€ or $2230 USD) for the person who builds the coolest app. Find out more:

Must be accessible on the web (web app or downloadable), must be documented.
