FINALLY, the AJC has made all their news sections available as RSS feeds. I emailed them about this like two years ago and they sent me the email equivalent of a shoulder shrug.
Amber used to work at Cox and brought places like the Waco Tribune into this century long ago, so it’s not like they didn’t know how to do it. But this is a positive development nonetheless.
UPDATE: I never would have read this chilling obituary of former city of Atlanta official Robert Sumbry if I hadn’t subscribed to the Atlanta news feed. I knew there had to be somebody there still doing good reporting, I just didn’t ever get to see it because the home page is littered with headlines about Prince William getting back together with his girlfriend and Foxy Brown getting mugged:
Update June 25 10:05 p.m. Apparently these have been around for a while and I just never noticed them.
This is like, uh, a good, like, uh, demonstration of, uh, the self-policing nature of the blogosphere. Yeah, that’s it.
I wonder what else you shrug often enough to warrant giving that phrase the “shoulder” qualifier.
Did something change? I’ve been reading the AJC through an RSS feed for at least 6 months.
I didn’t ever recall seeing their news sections being made available as RSS feeds until now. I just thought it was their blogs. It’s enitirely possible they’ve been there the whole time and I just haven’t noticed.
I’ve been subscribed for a long time. Flash has done fried your mind.
The obituary you linked was actually in the main headlines section (not in the news buzz) for most of the day yesterday, that’s where I first read it.
