Grazr Blog

It took a little longer than I’d hoped, but Grazr widget code now runs really smoothly on the iPhone! Part of the delay was trying to figure out how to integrate the new widget behaviors with the site in a way that made sense.
When you go to the grazr iPhone site, you will see […]

Marjolein has once again put together a really nifty tool she’s calling “OnePipe” . Using Yahoo Pipes, Grazr, and a little bookmarklet magic, she’s created a way to click one button to auto-discover content feeds, filter on specific keyword, and then immediately display the results in Grazr.

Adam thought of a different kind of implementation that could be extremely useful and I’m spending some cycles on that. While it’s going to take time away from the bigger […]

Well after much work, the new version of the technology demo didn’t quite make it to the level I’d hoped by Sunday.
