Dev8d - Google Reader and Dipity streams

I've spent a few minutes bringing different feeds together

A twitter account, which shows photos, videos and blogs that mention dev8d

A Google Reader Bundle

A dipity timeline

Includes these feeds:

• Twitter search http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=dev8d
• Google Blog Search http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q=dev8d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=atom
• Google Video Search http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?client=firefox-a&hl=en&q=dev8d&view=3&output=rss
• Flickr dev8d tag http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=dev8d
• Dev8d wiki changes - not sure how useful this is http://wiki.2010.dev8d.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom
• let me know of any other rss feeds for dev8d it would be good to add.

How I created the twitter account

1. 1 First collect a few rss/atom feeds: Google Blog Search, Google Video Search, Flickr tag results for dev8d. It seems sites like Flickr and vimeo don't provide feeds for search results (i.e. they provide feeds for a user, and maybe a tag, but not search), which is annoying. 
2. Create twitter account.
3. Use twitterfeed.com, add each feed one at a time and point the output to the twitter account (you need to use oauth to authorise twitterfeed to post to the twitter account the first time you do this).
4. That's all
