Alternative to Blogdigger

  • So, I am currently a member of a group that uses Blogdigger to combine a number of feeds froma number of blogs. People can then surf over to that site and see what’s shaking, who’s posted, etc.

    Problem is, it’s too darn slow! I’ve posted two things over 12 hours ago, and neither has hit the page. I’ve decided Blogdigger is just too slow to do a good job of what we are looking for.

    Is there another service out there like Blogdigger, which allows people to maintain Groups of blogs (controlling access to which blogs are added), but would perform faster?

    Just curious

  • Hi, I’m Greg from Blogdigger. Sorry Groups hasn’t worked well for you…we did have a hard drive failure yesterday which set our crawlers back. Also, if you ping Blogdigger or Pingomatic when you post, Blogdigger will check your blog right away. Our ping address is https://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2.

    I hope this helps, if I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

    Greg,
    That may have been the problem. I noticed the page updated this afternoon, and the most recent post was from 13 hours ago.

    As an insider at Blogdigger, any suggestions about how we could expedite the process of posts showing up? I realize no service out there will provide instantaneous updates, but perhaps we could speed things up a bit from our end…

    Pinging is definetly the best way to get indexed faster.

    WordPress should be set up to ping Pingomatic by default, which should pass the ping on to us. Or you could ping us directly, by adding https://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2 in your WordPress configuration as an additional ping service. When you post a new entry to your blog, the ping will alert us that you have updated, and we will schedule your blog for a recrawl.

    Hope this helps, if you’d like to email me, I’m at greg AT blogdigger DOT com. Thanks!
