Streaming charity news blogs

I really ought to get out and do various stuff in the garden, now that the sun is back in Malvern, but while I’m digesting my lunch …..

The RSS (news feed) aggregator we’ve been using over on VoluntaryNews has improved a lot now that that site has been upgraded to latest software. So adding it here to ‘stream’ latest items from charity news blogs and campaign sites seemed a good idea. Take a look at the Blog Pool section.

I’ve scraped around various link pages and bookmarks created over the last year to find appropriate feeds. Some are now dead (although the sites still exist), some, particularly on Blogspot, don’t want to work with the aggregator. We’d be pleased to have suggestions for others – we only poll feeds roughly daily to keep server load down at both ends.

You can of course use CharityBlog to create your own blog news, and this will generate an RSS feed which can be used elsewhere.
