In a post this morning I said we'd benefit from a blog aggregator specific to Information Quality. Mulling it over, it didn't seem right to just leave it at "gee, wouldn't it be nice if someone did this..."
So, I've started a blog-level aggregation titled "InfoQuality Aggregator." There are three ways to views of the info from this blog's menu at right:
- The "InfoQuality Aggregator: Full Results" section will take you to the full set of results in Feedburner or Google Reader formats. I'll leave it to you to pick what you prefer.
- The InfoQuality Aggregator: Recent Articles section displays the 5 most recent items found. Note, it doesn't seem to be updating...we'll have to watch it and see when/if it starts adding newer posts.
- The InfoQuality Aggregator: Blogroll section lists all blogs monitored by the aggregator.
- The aggregator's doesn't filter what results to present. Any post made to blogs listed in the blogroll will be displayed in the overall result set.
- For the first couple days the items on the "full results" page will be ordered strangely -- this is due to so many blogs having been added all at once. By the end of the week we should start seeing only the newest postings at the top of the list.
I don't have time to host the full results in a prettier page right now. Perhaps I'll look at it over the December holidays. Still, this gives us a starting point.
MANY MANY thanks to Eddie Awad for posting how he created his Oracle aggregator. I wouldn't have had a clue how to begin without his step-by-step.
Happy news reading!
