+coolerMietzer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am having a lifestream on my blog, where everything i have done on twitter, my blog, youtube, delicious, flickr and so on is logged in a timeline. I asked Groundspeak for this and they replied, that i have to suggest this in this forum. So I want to know, if there would be an option to share your logs, would you like it? In my opinion, it's time for web2.0 ;-) so it should be added optionally for premium members. Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Anyone who wants to read all my logs should really shut off the computer and go out caching. Link to comment
+JBnW Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 All my logs are right there on every cache I've found, read away. Would I like an RSS feed for this; No. Would I use this feature if available; No. I would think my annual PM fees could be better used. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) I think there is some potential for this idea. The Waymarking site has RSS feeds and they can be a lot of fun. I can drop one in Google Maps and it will map all the waymarks in the feed. Very cool. I could see a Geocaching logs RSS feed having the same capability. Just drop it into Google Maps and you can see your cache activity for a day/week/whatever. It would be trivial to drop that into a blog post. Edited February 6, 2009 by OpinioNate Link to comment

sdarken Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If we're talking about Geocaching.com 2.0, I wouldn't mind having access to DNF logs of my friends. An RSS feed of those DNF logs would be fun (rather than individual emails). I could see an RSS feed of logs owned caches potentially being useful. I dont get enough logs on my caches to make that useful but I imagine that some people get flooded with emails that could be better consumed as an RSS feed. Link to comment
+coolerMietzer Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I would think my annual PM fees could be better used. There is not much effort to create an RSS-Feed. As I see, the page is based on PHP, the database-query is already done and there are lots of rss-creating php-classes free available online. This work could be done in a half an hour. In my opinion, using RSS-feeds instead of a full webpage will lower the servers transfer rate to the internet (annd so will save your annual PM fees ), there is not so much content in the server responses.
