| Late last night I flicked the switch on a public aggregator of UK Political Feeds. http://www.voidstar.com/ukpoliblog/ If people find it useful, I'll give it it's own domain. It could do with a graphics makeover as well. In response to "Can we blog the Labour Conference" and with a tip of the hat to http://www.conventionbloggers.com/ As for Media RSS in this area, I've found the Scotsman and The Independent. While searching for feeds, some things I discovered. - Quite a lot of UK politicians have websites. Almost without exception they are Frontpage driven from a packaged template. Consequently, they rarely get updated and have no RSS. - There's a surprisingly large number of blogger/blogspot driven blogs that have no feed and where people have jumped through frames to put them on real domains. - There's a movement that's gathering momentum to create proxy blogs for prominent politicians. If they won't run one, we'll run one for them. - A LibDem group has started a Meetup. So someone's watching the USA. But generally, UK Political use of the internet seems to be primitive. |
