Adding news resources

Added Oneindia and Monsters and Critics headlines to India News. More is better!

Using RSS Feeds

Posted on January 18th, 2007 in General by Sumanasa.com Team

Switched to RSS feeds (instead of html pages) as source of news headlines for a few news sources for the first time in the 6-year history of Sumanasa.com. Although RSS feeds are more structured source of news headlines, we still prefer crawling HTML pages for the following reasons:

  • Many Indian websites still don’t provide RSS feeds.
  • RSS feeds may not be updated as frequently and as quickly as their HTML counterparts.
  • Headlines in RSS feeds are sometimes sorted on date and time rather than by their importance.
  • Not all headlines are listed in RSS feeds.

Holler back if headlines from your favourite website is still not available on Sumanasa.com.

Adding Hindi news resources

Added VOA Hindi to our Hindi News pages. Added DW-WORLD.DE Hindi and Urdu to regional news page. Have enough Hindi unicode resources now; should we switch from image rollovers to text?

Happy New Year!
