We want to use the bing news rss feed, https://www.bing.com/news/search?q={query}&format=rss, but we're not sure if there are any restrictions, i.e. max queries per second or max queries per month. Does anyone know what kind of pricing and restrictions exist?
Here is the feed's copyright tag:
<copyright>Copyright \xc2\xa9 2016 Microsoft. All rights reserved. These XML
results may not be used, reproduced or transmitted in any manner or for any
purpose other than rendering Bing results within an RSS aggregator for your
personal, non-commercial use. Any other use of these results requires express

So personal, non-commercial use is ok, and in that case max queries and quotas are probaby not going to be exeeced.

I've seen several posts linked to this question (some older than others) but no definitive answer.
I want to set a section on my web-page linking to the LinkedIn positions that answer to a particular, kind of specific, query.
Ideally, I would like to download and reprocess the text to mix Linkedin's job offers up with other sources and implement a layer of processing on all job positions relating to my user's needs.
Overall, what I do need is scraping LinkedIn Job Offers. I'm not too fond of the idea of implementing a scraping tool or using some external and non-supported plugin.
I've tried opening a request to LinkedIn, and I've been told I should write here with the #linkedin tag so that LinkedIn technicians' can see my bid and answer.
I have the impression that a LinkedIn API allowed searching for Job Posts/Positions and downloading the main, but the functionality it's not supported anymore. Does anyone know if that's the case or what I should do to perform that operation if that's not the case?
I am trying to figure out what is the exact difference between a document management system and archives management system? For example, what is the difference between Alfresco and Archivesspace (http://www.archivesspace.org/)?
Can Alfresco function as an archives management tool? What is the difference between the two? I read there is a record management module in Alfresco, is this what is meant by archives management?
Can Alfresco be used as an Archives Management System? Yes, of course. One real world example of this is the New York Philharmonic. They digitized their musical scores and associated artifacts going back to 1842 and then made them available online for researchers. Here is a video about it.
At its heart, Alfresco is a repository that allows you to capture any type of file, secure those files, route those files through workflows, search across the files, and associate metadata with each file. What I've just described are what most people would consider the basic set of functionality present in any worthwhile document management system.
Now, what makes that specific to archival purposes? I'm not an archivist. That's a highly-specialized field. One thing that is missing from my list of functionality above is "capture" or how the artifacts you are archiving will get into the system. This depends on exactly what it is you are archiving. One might use document scanners or high-end photography equipment, for example. None of that is addressed by Alfresco. You'll have to use third-party hardware and software and then integrate it, although many integrations exist between Alfresco and third-party capture vendors.
So I would say, yes, Alfresco can be used for archives management. But perhaps more importantly than considering whether or not a piece of software can be given a label, you should be thinking about how your users will use the software and what it is they need to get done. Then focus on how each of the packages you are evaluating can be used to achieve those goals to try to figure out whether or not each package will be a fit.
The difference is that ArchivesSpace is an 'archives information management system', whereas Alfresco is a full 'content management system', which means that it can manage any type of content.
What ArchivesSpace is:
ArchivesSpace Version 1.0 was completed in August 2013. It includes basic functionality for accessioning, processing, description, digital object description, and authority control workflows for archival material, as well as for searching descriptions and exporting metadata objects such as EAD, MARCXML, MODS, Dublin Core, METS, and CSV.
http://www.archivesspace.org/developmentplan
As for Alfresco:
The Alfresco One platform allows organizations to fully manage any type of content from simple office documents to scanned images, photographs, engineering drawings and even large video files.
http://www.alfresco.com/products/one/aws?utm_expid=11184972-12.IcCW-3j6RMavigPGfjODyw.1&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alfresco.com%2F
What the difference ultimately comes down to is not what it can store but what functionality you get in addition. ArchivesSpace seems to be a simple implementation of a document storage system that stores documents in collections with associated metadata. Alfresco also offers workflows, custom actions, previews, sites, wikis etc.
If your specific use case is related to archiving off documents specifically and you want something that will already be good at this then go ahead and use ArchivesSpace, if not, or if you want to expand the system out in future, then Alfresco will likely be able to do more but will likely take more effort to configure to your specific use case as you will have to create a custom content model and such.
Alfresco Records Management is for managing documents that will likely have some legal significance, such as court papers, official government department responses etc, and as such their creation and destruction need to be closely managed. As far as I can see this is not something ArchivesSpace can do.
(Full disclosure: I work for an Alfresco partner)
I have to implement full-ext search for website based on SDL Tridion WCMS. Any suggestions or an idea how to implement full text search using Tridion Query?
The SDL Tridion Content Delivery API is designed for retrieval of content based on system or custom metadata and/or taxonomy. The full text is not available via the API for searching. To implement a full text site search on a Tridion site it is normal to use/integrate a separate search engine, such as Google Site Search or one of the Lucene based solutions. The best integrations usually use a storage extension to notify the search indexer when content has changed.
See How can we integrate Microsoft FAST with SDL Tridion 2011 SP1? and Extending Content Delivery Storage in SDL Tridion 2011 for some ideas/examples.
If your site is accessible to a Google bot, Google Site Search is easy.
You might also look to the app server for your full text search (for instance its in a .NET/SQL environment).
If you want an enterprise search platform, check out the open source Solr. With Java, .Net and JavaScript APIs and a REST-based server/service, this open source option is worth taking a long look.
Not to go too far off topic, but this helped me visualize when I was answering the same question for the first time: site search means three things. One, a search engine; two, a search schema/index (decide what the beast eats and feed it); three, a search user interface.
I'm in the early stages of designing an RSS app, and I'd like to include syncing to an online RSS feed service as a feature. Most such apps make use of Google Reader's feed/syncing features, but Google is now moving sync out of its Reader service, and also its API remains undocumented. Are there any alternatives to Google Reader that offer online syncing of feeds with a desktop client, and which have a documented API?
There should be an answer to this question, but I don't think there is.
I think we got lazy. Maybe it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
What about Newsblur?
http://www.newsblur.com/
Don't know anything about them, but they appear to have a reasonable facsimile of a product in this vein.
Here are their API docs. http://www.newsblur.com/api
They are a subscription service, but you can have up to 64 feeds for free.
A couple suggestions, the original web RSS Reader BlogLines is still around, though now under new management since MerchantCircle purchased the service late last year.
The APIs maybe still functional:
Or they may be deprecated/turned off, haven't tried the APIs myself.
If BlogLines API is no longer around a better bet is LiveDoor Reader (along with it's open sourced version is called FastLadder).
Livedoor Reader is a Japanese service, but FastLadder pages and documentation are available in english and Japanese.
Downloadable Open sourced versions for running on your own machines be they windows, Mac OSX, or Linux from here
There's also a FastLadder Google source Code page.
There are RSS apps for both IOS and Android that sync with LiveDoor Reader/FastLadder instances. Just search for LDR in their respective app stores.
I don't think there's a ready answer yet, but I think Brent Simmons has a rough spec of what could be a start:
http://inessential.com/2010/02/08/idea_for_alternative_rss_syncing_system
Basically, imagine a server that manages feed subscription lists and captures annotations for feed items. Those annotations for items would be things like (un)read, starred, shared, saved, deleted, or whatever else an app might want to attach to a feed item. It should stay simple and not fetch or process feeds themselves - other apps and libraries do that fine already.
Feedlooks looks close too with no ties to Google Reader - not sure about the API, though

Years back, I'd used a self hosted Open Source app called Gregarious - It appears to have gone missing recently.
Here's the Gregarious Archive from 2010

Another contender for the do-it-yourselfer might be utilizing SimplePie.org
I am building a new web site in asp.net, and im newbie with using maps.
For my web site i will need the following functionality:
display a map of specific location.
display route map between two or more location
calculate distance between 2 locations.
I found most of the functionality at the Bing Maps interactive SDK site:
and it works fine.
My questions are:
does it cost money to use this SDK ?
for the third task, i understand that i will have to use MapPoint Services.
(is there another way??) does it code money to use it?
I will really appreciate it if you dont send me links, cause my english is not the best one...
thanks a lot
It sounds like you're at the decision making stage of your project and weighing up the pros and cons of various frameworks. Due the nature of developing commercial applications using maps (supplied by Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any other map provider), it might be an idea to code against a library called MapStraction.
It allows you to easily swap and change map providers depending on commercial and/or customer requirements. It also provides a consistent interface so changing your map provider half way through the project isn't a big deal.
Have a look at using OpenStreeMaps. It's completely free, and so far I have been very impressed with it. In my area, it's more accurate and detailed than Google maps.
In the UK OS maps are also free.
Bing Maps is a good option. If your website is public and the map is publically available, then you can make use Bing Maps for free if you have less than 125,000 page views (similar to a session) of your map page in a year as noted here: http://www.microsoft.com/maps/product/licensing.aspx
If you expect a higher volume of usage then you would need a license. Note that Bing Maps licenses tend to be cheaper the Google licenses. This is pretty neat as Bing Maps has much more data than Google.
Also, MapPoint Web Services are not need, nor do they exist anymore.
Read the licenses carefully, both Bing and Google Maps cost money, if you use it for commercial purpose.
E.g. read this blog post:
http://www.47hats.com/2009/07/google-maps-the-10k-gotcha/
However, if you using it for your non-commercial app, it is free.
Another option to consider for those looking at this thread is Azure Maps, Microsoft's newer enterprise mapping platform. It usually costs less than Bing Maps and provides more features and services. It is also a part of Azure which make things a lot easier if you are already developing in Azure. Find more information at https://azure.com/maps
You can do all of that using just Bing Maps. The Bing Maps routing service can b sued to calculate the driving distance between two locations. If you want the straight line (as the crow flies) distance then it's just a simply calculation.
For Bing Maps you will always need a license, however there are free licenses. If you qualify for free usage depends on your use case. There's a good tool available for figuring out if you need an Enterprise license or if you qualify for free usage here: http://www.microsoft.com/maps/Licensing/licensing.aspx
