Tags: Web services Myqron

Before you read this post, if you haven't heard of web hooks, please check out webhooks.org.

I've developed a web service called Myqron to turn pull-type web services (e.g. RSS) into push-type web services. The service works by using custom-written adapters for each type of pull service, which contain business logic for determining when a pull service updates.

I hope that the introduction Myqron makes that clearer, if you don't already get it.

I'd love to hear your feedback on whether or not you find it useful, or how the service could be improved. I've developed it mostly for my own purposes, but if you can make use of it I'd love to hear at neil@myqron.com.

Quick suggestion... I got the following message:

The document at the specified URL must be one of: text/xml, application/rss+xml

Would it be possible to add application/xml to this list? Reason being that I prefer to use that above text/xml due to the reasons detailed on the following page:
