Recently, I stumbled on this website: http://skepticator.com/ What it does is compile blog posts from 720 different skeptical blogs and returns the latest 20 posts. It’s an interesting way to find new articles and authors. It’s nice to get a short summary for each entry without needing to click on it, too (instead of just [...]

Great application if you have a good RSS feed for a skeptic oriented site I wholeheartedly suggest you add it. I've just started mucking around...

Called The Skepticator this is a feed aggregator which gathers entries from all kinds of skeptical blogs into one feed for people to peruse, kinda like Skepfeeds just much bigger and automated. Of course here at Skepfeeds the selection of entries from other [...]

When last I posted about Skepticator, it was a raw, fresh-faced little website with a few command-line apps behind it drawing content. It had something like 64 feeds aggregated, and was ticking along slowly with about 1000 posts to look through. But there was no easy way to actually dig for content. It was a very linear experience, and if you wanted just the latest Skeptical commentary, that was fine.

But that's not why I started it. So, since I last posted, I've been working away like mad to make Skepticator much, much cooler.

Yes, if you have a mobile device, hit up http://m.skepticator.net/ to view the latest news from the skeptisphere. GWT will be added later, as will search capability.

Here we see it running on my slightly battered HTC Touch Pro. It's the basic basic theme as its big brother, with the rounded corner fripperies removed and the left-hand navigation gone, ad it also cuts down on showing the opening paragraphs of stories, just the title, where it's from and when it appeared. It's also the first of my sites to go out on .NET 4.0.

At the moment, it's ad-free as I've not yet found a good way of getting an ad onto the small format screen, but well, if it drives adoption of the main site, that's fine by me.

 See that magic number? 49,958 articles.

I registered the Skepticator.com name on 14 February 2010, and the site launched a while after that*. Since then, the Extracticator robot has crawled far more articles than I expected, and I've found far more skeptical content than I ever knew about - even with my stated policy of going slow on the specifically atheist content.

Now, to be a skeptic about this - it's actually 50,000 unique URLs rather than articles - I know of a few duplicate articles, but the engine has no sensible way of knowing that an identically worded article exists in two different URLs with ever-so slightly different text. I'm hoping I can come up with a solution for that eventually, but I certainly don't think it detracts from the milestone.

Adding to this success, Skepticator is sponsoring the

This song was written for the Skepticator Live skeptics open mic night side event for TAMoz. If a recording of that show surfaces I’ll be sure to share the stripped down version, but for now you have to put up with the extended studio mix. It was meant mostly in jest, and any references to [...]

Some links to things you should check out. My blog stats page alerted me to the fact that I’ve been included in Skepticator, an aggregate of (a) skeptical blogs and (b) blogs written by complete nobodies who might occasionally mention skeptical issues in passing. So thanks for that. We know that people with certain autism [...]
