Factiva Begins Offering "Campaign Issue" RSS Feeds

RSS
Factiva Begins Offering "Campaign Issue" RSS Feeds
The RSSification of content continues, this time from a major online info service. From the announcement, "Targeting the U.S. government sector, this free RSS feed will continuously update the campaign issues being reported, enabling users to view a three-paned window that allows them to quickly scan campaign issue headlines. If they see an update or issue that interests them, they can easily click on the link to read the entire story." These feeds use web-based content so you don't need a Factiva subscription to read the full text. Four feeds are available:
+ Jobs & Economy
+ Health Care
+ War In Iraq
+ Budget & Taxes
You can read the headlines via the Factiva site or place the "headline only" feeds directly into your aggregator.

and while we're on the topic of RSS...

News
Weblogs

Say Hello to MetroFeed
Here's a new service, it looks like an early beta, that aggregates RSS feeds from "locally" oriented blogs (and other news sources) onto a single page. Sort by source or by time. Pages also contain local weather and other news from the Blogosphere. Each feed needs more sources but it's an interesting idea and a site to watch. Yes, you can also get an RSS feed for each city MetroFeed. (-: It sounds very similar to what Blake and Steven have offered up at LISFeeds (library and info science blogs) for a long time. You can also accomplish the same type of service (with more mainstream news content) via the 150,000+ "topic pages" at Topix.net and/or placing one of more of their "topic feeds" into your aggregator.
MetroFeeds' are available at the moment for:
+ Los Angeles
+ New York
+ San Francisco
+ Seattle
+ Chicago
+ San Diego
+ Washington, DC
+ Toronto
+ London

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
