Dave Winer's weblog, started in April 1997, bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Hacker News firehose feed Permalink.

The feed is more or less done.

http://static.scripting.com/hackernews/rss.xml

Each item points to the article being linked to from the Hacker News entry. The link points to the HN discussion page.

The feed is realtime, it has a functional element, and the notification server works (at least for now, knock wood, praise Murphy).

I am following it in my personal river. It's a lot of news, but I like having it there.

You're welcome to poll it, but it only updates at most once a minute, so there's no point in polling more frequently.

The source of the flow is http://api.ihackernews.com/new.

PS: Lots of interesting comments about the feed over on Hacker News. :-)

PPS: The Twitterfeed folk are using this feed to link the firehose to Twitter.

PPPS: Even better, they say they're going to hook into rssCloud!! :-)
