OW Housekeeping: New Version of KO "Mini-Blog"
Ever since Yahoo! decided to "upgrade" Delicious and broke the darn auto-posting app we had come to rely upon I've been looking for a better way to share links to blog posts and stories about our man Keith.
Today I have replaced the Delicious RSS headline app in the left rail with something called a Yahoo Pipe. You can google about it to learn more but basically this thing is an RSS Mashup tool that I've already been using to create the Olbermann photo gallery in the left rail.
I set this up to pull from several types of sources: (1) KO Fan sites like Relevant Torture; (2) Blue Blogs that love Keith like Crooks and Liars and HuffPo; (3) KO "direct" sites like Keith's blog on Kos; (4) some gossip and TV sites like Jossip, Page Six, TVNewser, ICN, Cable Game; (5) some friends of OW such as Howard Mortman, Hot Air, Radio Equalizer, Newsbusters and others that mix in some KO blogging with their site. I am experimenting with various filters and sorting pipes to see if I can this to become a better way to strain out the dreck and get to the best stuff quickly, making it easier for all of us to keep an eye on Keith. I will be tweaking it over the next few days so if you see some stuff that look out of place in there do not be surprised. Give me time and I will either get it tuned up right or dump it.
Since this may well be the most comprehensive Keith Olbermann RSS feed out there, I won't be surprised to learn that Keith himself is a subscriber.
Oh, one last thing. The KO Mini-Blog is not gone. The mini-blog was also served up as an RSS feed so I just added it to the Pipe so all the same items will still show up in the newer, bigger, better version of the KO MINI BLOG ON STEROIDS!
Thanks for the extra organization.
BTW, KO bragging that he and the Kossacks run MSNBC programming
