Another update to the site, one that I’m pretty excited about. It took a lot of research and time to put into place, so I hope it’s worth it when all is said and done. There’s a specific website I go to for news regarding the Knicks called ultimateknicks.com. It pulls news feeds from various media outlets and updates the site, making it an easy place to go for Knicks news. I was hoping to do something similar not just for the Knicks, but for the other NY teams I follow – the Mets and Jets. As I kept going, I decided to create a news feed for the Yankees and Giants thinking my brother might get some use out of it too.
The result is an all in one source for NY Sports News. A link to the page can be found using the tab at the top of the page. At the top of the NY Sports News page are links to the team specific pages.
The overall NY Sports feed includes news from the NY Times, NY Newsday, NY Post, and LoHud News. There are also a couple of football and basketball feeds that didn’t fit into the team specific pages, but I thought would provide good information. The individual team feeds include news and blogs from NY Newsday, NY Post, LoHud News, and their specific NFL/NBA/MLB team page. I’ve specifically left the NY Daily News from the feeds as I find their news equal to the magazines found at the supermarket checkout lines.
The service is provided by feed.informer.com (formerly feeddigest.com). I’m limited to 6 feed digests, each with 12 feed sources, and 25 feeds per digest, for free. Hence, I decided to exclude pages specific to the Islanders and Rangers, sorry Vinny. I’m hoping to get some feedback on other news sites that might be worthy of inclusion as there are a few open sources available.
I like it!
