joining TI-dev discussion Group?

[Leonardo Restivo]

Hi!

I am following up on a tweets-exchange with Dario Taraborelli early this morning:

ScipleNeuro Scientific literature and RSS: a web- app for that? see what we're working on + code http://t.co/Bb1teUXM 12-05-07 9:11 AM

ReaderMeter .@ScipleNeuro I see a great opportunity to embed article usage metrics in these feeds and let people use them as filters #altmetrics 12-05-07 10:19 AM

ReaderMeter @ScipleNeuro what about sharing some initial design ideas with the @totalimpactdev group? https://t.co/Kigw7EHy 12-05-07 12:14 PM

He retweeted my blog post (http://sciple.org/scientific-literature-rss-feeds/) on a web-app I am developing (it is more of a proof of concept, though).

This tool is designed for scientists searching for RSS feeds from scientific journals.

Ideally I should be able to rank/filter/recommend the RSS feeds on the basis of my "taste profile". 

I'd love to share these ideas with the TI-dev group:

 - Article usage metrics could be embedded in the retrieved feeds as suggested by Dario.

 - Alternatively, this RSS reader could be used to send data about article usage to TI !

Bottom-line:

Can I join the discussion group? is there a procedure to do that? any rule/etiquette to follow?

cheers,

Leo (@ScipleNeuro)

Hi Leo!  Welcome!  You can sign up to the google group at: 

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/total-impact

No procedures or rules, just general discussion of topics related to total-impact.

We're in the midst of finishing up a new version of our api which should make it pretty easy to embed total-impact stats.  Always interested in new sources of article-level metrics!

Keep us in the loop as your project develops?

Heather
