Twitter news feeds

Saturday, March 17, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Tom Newman sends word to check out the following Twitter names: cnn, cnnbrk, bbcnews, bbc.  Permalink to this paragraph

He also points out that there's a nytimes account that reflects the contents of the main NY Times feed. The nyt newsbot I set up reflects the contents of all the Times feeds. Permalink to this paragraph

Tonight I'm working on generalizing the TwitterRiver tool so the same code can process multiple accounts as well as multiple feeds and correctly route news items between them. Permalink to this paragraph

The reason why it's such a good fit is that Twitter is a river, I saw that immediately. It's what I've been preaching. They got a lot of people to think in terms of River of News. So of course I'm going to jump on that bandwagon. I'll take victory however I can get it. Permalink to this paragraph
