Okay, I think I did 8 & 9 together in the last post,
as I managed to insert feeds into this here blog.
OTH, I didn't truely go out and explore the RSS feed
tools. Now that I have? I think I like the whole idea
of putting a blog scraper (searching for keyword specific
content in sites w/out RSS feeds) tools on my blog, to
search for library related content. :)
Bear with me, because I'm going to try to do so.
(Oh the joys of getting something you aren't really
sure of to work!).
While scraping is controversial because you are
taking content and posting without explicit permission -
I believe that content posted on the web, unless specifically
copyrighted, is basically free for useage such as a personal,
non-profit oriented blog. Which basically, this is.
Sounds strage coming from a librarian, but I think the
argument, with a few "riders" attached to modify it
is basically sound. After all, these blogs are basically
personal diaries, and not many people put them up with
the intent to make profit. Rather, the intent is to *share* their
insights, creations, etc.
Okay, enough blathering.
Feedity (link to follow) a free
tool that generates web feeds... I put in the google
web site address, and the feeds tool gave me a link
which turns out to be in XML..
code which I can't insert, since this blog
thinks it's improperly written HTML, LOL!!
Well, you guys go and check out
feedity and see if you can view the code..
it is on the whole pretty interesting...
Try entering LCPL's main library page...
