kLog News: Public RSS aggregator

Filed under: blogs, rss, newsmaster

kLog News is a simple and clear Public RSS aggregator…great for keeping up with blogs in the KM industry via the one feed (these could be called expert feeds)…there is also an OPML, and more.

Body

Here you will see a running list of the latest posts, each has a permalink, the title is also a permalink

…this is different to other public aggregators as clicking on the title doesn’t take you to the native site.

Sidebar

Here is a list of the contributors (source blogs) that automatically - via re-syndication - populate the content for this portal.

When you click on one, eg. Community Engine, it will show posts just from this blog in the body.

The difference here is that the title does link to the native source.

Also there lacks an RSS feed to promote the source blog, in this example the Community Engine Blog.

The right-sidebar shows a quick title list of the latest posts, clicking on one will take you to the spot on the homepage.

Hang On!

Actually, when I examined the the posts in the homepage I didn’t notice that any of them were authored by any of the sources on the sidebar list…the posts on the home page seem to be by the administrator.

So this may be a Public RSS Aggregator, but the homepage doesn’t seem to aggregate posts from all sources in date order like a river of news (this is meant to be the best part…the RSS feed content is the same)

…so in fact the RSS feed isn’t a spliced feed of all the sources…hmmm

…it’s just an RSS feed for the administrators posts.

There is also a section at the top left called News…here there are more administrator channels, each with an RSS feed, they are Hot Sheet, kLog Watch, and Press Releases
…also listed is Yahoo! News - Technology News as re-syndicated content, but no promotion of their feed.

So in the end this basically has the same functionality as a Bloglines Public Aggregator.
