Quick public service announcement: I’ve hacked together an RSS feed for the Bend Bulletin. It’s a first-pass, I’m scraping their Local, Business and Sports pages and building a summary feed only. If I have time, I may go one step further and pull each article on those pages, and provide a full-text feed.
Either way, here’s the RSS feed link [ed. note: no longer valid]. Enjoy!
HAHA! Sweeeeeeeeet….
BTW: I would recommend againt parsing their full articles — that just cries for legal troubles.
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Just what I’d need.
i still dnt understand what an RSS feed is. what does it do? why do you get the rss feed from bend bulletin?

And I’d rather read the Bulletin’s news aggregated on one page that automatically updates rather than browse to their site for at least 4 wasted page hits.
Hey there…I am just digging into the RSS stuff and I am looking for some help. I am part of a sports website and we like to post news headlines the are relevant to our site everyday. Is there a way to scan a group of newspapers for articles that contain keywords so that each morning I can simply access those articles without going to each newspapers website? Drop me an email if you have suggestions on a way I can do this.
