Want to help creating RSS reading lists for news orgs?

This morning, I saw a tweet from Dave Winer responding to a Emily Bell and Aron Pilhofer thread on making news story data available for public understanding. Dave made the following comment:

Emily, Aron — I’ve followed the other thread. Interesting. Here’s something useful that could help right away. A collection of RSS feeds from news orgs, maintained, with metadata. Something a group of j-school students, maybe even from different unis, could do. 😉

I added this to the thread:

I have a start at this, see http://andysylvester.com/files/reading_lists/…, these lists are used by River5 to power http://fullblastnews.com

Several years ago, I created lists for print media, news networks, video from news networks, and collections on other topics for a demonstration site called FullBlastNews.com. It was meant to show off River4 (at the time) and use of tabs to switch between different news rivers. Some of the navigation is having some problems now, but the rivers still run….

I am publishing my reading lists/rivers lists/RSS lists URL to help jump start this, I am not sure if Aron or Emily or Dave will take any action, but I will be following this conversation to see where it leads.

 

The Feed Handbook is now live!

For some time, I have wanted to provide a collection of information on RSS (Really Simple Syndication). After some delay, I now present – The Feed Handbook. This site is a set of topic pages, along with a blog to document updates. Currently, I have the following topics:

  • Introduction
  • Feed Formats
  • Feed Readers
  • Feed Tools

My next topic will be Feed Sources (where to find feeds), and I am sure there will be more after that. If anyone has anything they would like to see include, contact me at the email address on the home page. Enjoy!
