Adobe myFeedz Tag Viewer
Posted by Phil Chung on March 26, 2007 6:11 PM | Permalink | Comments (29)

After seeing myFeedz and looking through the API, I figured I'd build something visual out of it, and this Tag Viewer is what came out of it. Some of the features include:

  • Tag cloud and related post visualization
  • Favorite tag list
  • Tag search function that continually updates with tags
  • Drag scroll UI

For me, the most interesting aspect was the drag scrolling and experimenting with different ways to scroll things horizontally and vertically. I've started to port it over to Flex, however, the one big obstacle I ran across was trying to get drag scrolling to work with existing containers (unfortunately, when you turn off the scrollbars, you also lose the ability to set V and H scrollPosition).

I noticed that the api urls tend to be quite slow in returning data (not sure exactly of the reason), so it's not as zippy as it could be. Also, the api really is currently limited to fetching tag clouds and posts, so it doesn't do everything that you can do through the myFeedz site.

Give it a try!

Could you modify the app so that when it opens, it has a pre-defined tag to start from?

*Hey, thanks for the article post. Keep writing.


An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers


I read your site for a while. Thanks for your contributions.


Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.


I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.


Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.


If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.


I truly similar to this weblog, make sure you do not quit!


Well accomplished. I love your content articles.
