Re: [PHP] Re: Free news feeds

2004-06-10 Thread Tim Winters
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the reply.  They actually don't have free feeds anymore.  They 
actually say in the FAQ that they don't do that anymore.

Does anyone know different?

Bah!  They do have free feeds, still.  I can't remember how I found this 
link, but I went through an old backup of a bookmarks file to get it for 
you, and it still works.  The RSS feeds unbelievably still work, too.

If I got to this page from their homepage without a login, then I don't 
imagine they care too much about people using them.

There is one thing I would suggest, though: to keep traffic down to 
their feeds, set up an automated script (through cron or something) to 
download the feed(s) once a day or once every other hour.  Then, on the 
page you want to display the feed(s), just point to your locally 
downloaded copy.  This way you don't tax Moreover's servers and they 
don't get too mad about people using the feeds.

Check out moreover.com.  They used to have free RSS feeds, and I think 
you can still get to them on their site somewhere... you just have to 
dig through everything.
