Must get more RSS feeds… must get more..
Following Mike’s slightly stinging comment here, I thought I should get some more tech and science feeds going.
Does Eurekalert have them? Yes it does.
Does Alphagalileo (the British and European science and tech academic resource for journalists et al) have them? Yes it does - split into science, technology, health, society, arts, and humanities. (Humanities? Who let them in here?)
Which is what my point is about - if you don’t have the feeds you won’t get read. If you do, you will. Or might, at least, which is close enough.
- These posts might be related (the database thinks..):
- How to decide in less than 5 seconds whether to keep or kill a feed (15 February 2008; score: 32.69%)
- Incomplete web feeds, the bane of aggregated life (18 November 2005; score: 32.51%)
- Being observations on the beta of NetNewsWire (26 March 2006; score: 30.39%)

Not sure what was “slightly stingy”. Then again, I am not sure that I follow the thread of this message, lacking as I do total recall or the ability to connect seemingly disjointed threads.
If the quest is for RSS feeds that cover science, I am buried in the darned things.
AlphaGalileo has RSS partly because I have battered them around the head about the need to do this.
By the way, I was delighted to read this week’s Technology section.
Nice cover page on the space station. (It would have been nice to have had a paragraph on Spacelab, to show that the US has a history of leading Europe up the garden path with promises of “scheduled” flights, but I guess the people who write these things are too young to have any history.)
And the energy piece on page 3 was a good start. (Probably slightly stingy again on my part, but that isn’t a new story either, just a new wrinkle.) Much better than the games stuff that once held that slot.
