Worldwide localised RSS feeds

13 Jun 2004

While looking for a replacement for the dodgy moreover.com RSS feeds I came across http://www.local-news.net/ a nifty site that provides web based and RSS based news feeds based on a large database of syndicated content.

It is a frontend to Any RSS that provides complete term based search on their database while local-news.net will use some kind of location aware lookup to find out where you are and then show the news nearest to you based on your IP address, you can also search and browse for other locations if its not 100% accurate. Will try this for a while and see how it works.
