What’s the latest on your local TD?…

Ever wondered if your local TD has a blog or what people are saying about them. Damien Mulley has a great site about Irish Politics that tracks all of our TD’s blogs.

“James, currently, no RSS feeds are used, so OPML would have no obvious application.”

I don’t follow Rob. As Damien says everys section has an RSS feed so what I’m asking for is a bundling of those feeds into OPML nodes and subnodes.

I’d be very cautious of scraping newspapers’ sites. I suppose it’s a possibility, but it could potentially make them very unhappy.

Rob there is ways of making feeds from sites that have no feeds. We do it over on Irish Election for some of the parties. Takes a bit of work but the adding the local papers would be cool
