Political News Feeds Now Available
April 9th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Today we’re launching our Political Feed Reader, a custom, web-based RSS reader (similar to Bloglines or Google Reader) for the personal, non-commercial use of our site members on their MyP4A home pages.
Located in the right sidebar of the MyP4A home page, the Feed Reader allows site members to select a variety of political news feeds from an initial list of over 20 feeds.
Selecting Feeds
Selecting feeds is as simple as clicking the checkboxes beside the feed descriptions you want to receive, then clicking the “Update Subscriptions” button at the bottom of the list to save your choices:
Reading and Sharing News
Headlines for stories from selected feed “channels” (online news, political parties, etc.) will be displayed with a short summary of the article, and the feed will refresh automatically while the site member’s MyP4A page is open in a web browser.
Clicking the story headline will take site members to the full story on the original site, and clicking the “Blog This” link will allow users to share links to the original stories through their Politics4All Blogs.
In addition to automatically refreshing these external news feed lists, site members’ “Recent Activity” and “Latest” tab content will also be refreshed automatically.
Site members are invited to submit requests for news feed sources not currently offered, and we will do our best to accommodate them as we continue offering resources to help our members build and manage their political lifestreams on Politics4All.
