Good News from Conduit! Search boxes, widgets, Apps & Extensions back online in 2 weeks!

Today -after extensive contact with Conduit Support via Skype- I got the confirmation and promise that the search service that powers the search boxes, widgets, gadgets and browser extensions, will be restored with the coming new version, to be released within up to two weeks.
I am very happy to hear they took my request very seriously and decided - as a token of appreciation and because I have been a loyal publisher for years- to support this service again!

In one of my previous posts you can read what the extent of the problem is for me :
Small changes, big impact? Conduits growth & problems for me http://digicmb.blogspot.com/2011/06/small-changes-big-impact-conduits.html

As token of appreciation back, I will change all boxes with a direct reference back to Conduit, like in this one:


More exciting news to come from Conduit ... as I was told that a new version of the Custom HTML for Mobile should be released very soon.
Now I am not sure if this will make these above mentioned boxes work inside these mobile apps, OR that they will make it possible for Toolbar owners to get their custom gadgets available IN the mobile app. I guess we will have to wait and see.

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription.

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
