Fuelly and Twitter

[BrianDivaCox]

i am still not understanding how u feel this is "redundancy"

if your feeds included it .. people wouldnt have to do post prefix.. and for the ones who uses services that dont allowed post prefix adds it will just work..

It's redundant because if you subscribe to the feed in a standard feed reader, you see this:

------

Prius Fuel-up Log

The last 20 fuel-ups of Fuelly member pb's 2006 Toyota Prius.

47.6 MPG on July 09, 2009

Miles: 458.0

Gallons: 9.617

Price: $2.76

50.8 MPG on June 25, 2009

Miles: 419.0

Gallons: 8.255

Price: $2.80

etc...

Why repeat the car name with each post if it's in the title of the feed? We have to keep in mind that feeds have many uses--they're not solely used for posting to Twitter. So we can't act on every request to tune the feeds for a specific use.

hmm my RSS feed dont do that.. anyways okay easy fix get twitter linked for alerts ;-)

With the RSS feed how can it be set to the current currency/fuel measurement for the vehicle ?

My car (squirrile) should be set to Pounds Sterling and use imperial gallons, but the rss feed gives $ and the smaller US gallons.

We have a feed for metric units available by changing /rss to /metric-rss, but we don't have a feed set up for UK units. I'll post here again when I get that set up.

ok, just added the /uk-rss option. As long as you have UK units set in the upper-left corner of the page, your feeds should link to the uk-units option.

Testing now :-)

Works fine, cheers Paul :-)
