Where are the RSS/RDF Feeds?

Posted by Cliff on from the building-portals dept.

Don Greer asks: "I've been looking for sources of RDF/RSS format headlines high and low. I found XMLTree.COM some time ago, but it's virtually worthless as far as sources for mainstream news services go.I know that you can get these things, but nobody seems to publish the how-and-where on thier sites (I don't even think it's documented here on Slashdot). I'd like to setup a portal for my users, but where the heck do I get the content? Has anybody found a good resource for this stuff?" What cool RSS/RDF feeds have you all found when scouring the net?

    This site, lists some feeds.

    And here's some extraneous text because my comment violates the "postercomment compression filter" without it.

  2. Slashdot? by BRTB · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure about the other sites, but Slashdot has both an RDF and an XML format file with current headlines, and it's documented on the Code page, second section down.

    take a look at moreover.com http://w.moreover.com/dev/index.html

      We're using moreover for their javascript based feeds. It seems to be okay. They have quite a few of them available. individual.com has some also.

      definitely check moreover.com...

      the keyword-generated, dynamic RSS/XML/whatever-you-need feeds are an interesting option, but the 'normal' categories are decent quality and updated regularly.

  4. syndic8.com by Jim+Winstead · · Score: 2, Informative

    syndic8 is a site dedicated to exactly this sort of thing. it has a rapidly-growing list of newsfeeds, and has aspirations of becoming a focal point for advocacy related to convincing more publishers to produce their own feeds.

  5. CNN's RSS feed... by cymen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How come CNN's RSS feed is so bad? Check it out here:

    cnn.com/cnn.rss

    It has one story in it and that's it! Not updated very often... Pretty worthless.

  6. Lots of feeds at newsisfree.com by Nissyen · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are lots of feeds available from newsisfree.com. They have a comprehensive list of feeds either created by the news providers or generated by newsisfree.

  7. Userland by ChipX86 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm kind of surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet. my.userland.com has a large collection of RDF feeds. It's the only directory I use when looking for RDF feeds.

  8. Here's one for FreeDOS by Jim+Hall · · Score: 1
    If you are interested in free software at all, you may want to check out the FreeDOS RDF feed: here [freedos.org]

    Currently, all links point back to www.freedos.org but this will change as I make further updates to the news CGI system. :)

  9. WebWord XML files for Syndication by webword · · Score: 2
