Hi all,
related to the Persian IM theme (but Jabber-specific), I've been thinking about
other means of providing news feeds via IM, and found a Jabber RSS
service (
http://jrs.jabberstudio.org) that could serve as an easier/more stable alternative to a Jabber bot (and also has the advantage of service discovery).
I've put a couple of screenshots here: http://flickr.com/photos/menti/sets/72057594078476360/
I
installed it on my Jabber server, and added all of Ian's Persian feeds
to it (being checked once an hour). There's two ways to subscribe to the headlines - create a new account on my jabber server (menti.name) and browse the subscriptions, or add "
rss.menti.name" to your roster, then add the individual feed you're interested in (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
). Depending on the client used you may also be able to browse the feeds via remote Service Discovery. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to add them to GTalk yet.
The feeds available match what is published at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/institutional/rss.shtml, namely:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Enjoy,
Mario.
