Believers in New Media
Nevada News
Hey folks, you may already know this, but I've been working -- with Marcel's generous help -- a consolidation of Nevada news media RSS feeds. They currently reside here:
http://twitter.com/nevadanews
The obvious problem is that following that volume of Tweets is incredibly obnoxious. The work-around is putting them all into a single RSS feed. But then the problem is that in order to click on any one item, it takes you to the Twitter page first, then you have to click it again to go to the source -- a two-click fail in other words.
I changed the sidebar to indicate it's better to follow in a feed. That's where it is now.
The other thought is to set up a site with all of these feeds been fed there. I searched for a decent multi-feed plugin for Wordpress (my CMS of choice) and haven't found anything. Heck, even just adding ONE feed seems difficult to find the right code.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?
The next step is http://twitter.com/nevadablogs. Might be nice to iron out some of these issues prior to launching that effort.
