rss feeds question
 

Hopefully someone can help me with this because I'd like to apply a similar thing to my website.
Can anyone please tell me the method/scrypt that AskJolene.com uses for their cams searchpage?
As far as I can see (correct me if I'm wrong) they use live performer feeds from the affiliate programs of Streamate, Cams.com, ImLive.com etc etc
But how are these feeds being used?
Do they use (Feed)WordPress?
Or a MySQL database with cron jobs?
Or another method?
Any help in this would be very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your feedback/replies! :)

Maybe a mixture of MySQL to store the model info, and the RSS feeds to show who's online, and then pull the most popular online models v time in db up for the front page.

It might be an idea to look up what info each kind of feed gives and then look at the common points

Kind Regards

If you want to do something like this for Chaturbate, you would be best pulling the profile info down into a database and serving it when the model is online, maybe setting a time to refresh the data again (depending upon what you want to show). But you would have to scrape this from the site as there is no feed which will give you this info direct.

so an amendment would be, it depends on how much info you want to show, and what you are planning to do with your site.

Thanks for the feedback. :)
What about the following method:

I start off by putting 5 live feeds into a mysql database and set a cronjob on each one that downloads the latest feed version every 2 minutes.
Then I have to find a way to generate the same profile info from each feed into the searchresulttemplate.
