Try this for Singapore politics,

The Twitter feed should start getting rid of the “rubbish” in a day or so,

Looks like it might still pull in some stocks and shares info, but I’ll let it sit for a bit and check it in a few days to see how accurate it is.

I haven’t tested it yet, but please let me know how you get on. Have also fed it into a twitter feed if you prefer,

Still working on yours Ben…

I’ll try and get something set up, might not be this week, but prod me if you don’t hear from me. Cheers.

Great article, you just tweeted me a while ago. One thing I love about this is that it’s not only there to support journalists, it could actually save a lot of people as well. The utilisation of such a thing is something I really looking into.
Anyway, I’ve created a couple of RSS feeds from google and a random Congo news site and the results were mixed (I ended up getting info about the Oscars….). So if you could help out, it would be immensely appreciated. Specifically I’m interested in human rights violations, NGOs, political response and so forth. Might well utilise pipes if need be?
Cheers,
Simon

I don’t think Twitter feed – http://twitter.com/somaliapirates – is the best way to receive it either. Up to a 30 mins delay. Netvibes is better – http://www.netvibes.com/frontlinefeeds – as is Google Reader and the NetNewsWire application I generally use for feeds.
Once I figure out how to “share” entire feeds from Google Reader that may be the best way forward.

Maybe that’s a Bloglines problem. Netvibes seems to work fine, and going to the Yahoo pipes feed directly in a browser is also ok. Think somebody should check this with an other feedreader (so far Bloglines is doing fine for me… but maybe with some feeds it just can’t cope?)

You’ll no doubt still get the odd freakish feed or old post, but you should also scoop up pretty much anything new.

tnx for the work. We’ll have to see how this works – so far the feed gave me news from September and October 2008, not the recent news… but I’ll keep you posted.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=Rqn_uWIU3hGZfC4pJ5REag&_render=rss
Rather than focus solely on EU, NATO, it’s focussed on the general story of pirates in or near Somalia. I figure a slightly more general feed is still niche enough not to drown you. The initial “grab” will no doubt turn up old news as well as new stuff. Let me know how you get on.
