Just One Thing About the Newsfeeds
20-Feb-2009
We all have to check when we post the feeds to make sure they are not duplicates, because there is limited space for the feeds and when we post, other feeds get knocked off the top page.
Regarding the limited space, what I am starting to do now is when I already have several feeds up and I find something I think is very important I delete something I think is less important so I don't hog the space. But that's just me because I'm a big feed-hog when I do get into posting fthem--millions upon millions of feeds. Sorry.
The one thing I've always done though is check down the first couple of pages to make sure I'm not dupilicating. There are two kinds of duplications, duplication of the same article and duplicaton of the same story in a different article.
Obviously if the different article has something new to say on the topic it's...a different story. But many times they don't and those should be considered duplicates too.
If they do I think the supertitle should reflect the new angle.

Hell no, absolutely not! J. only decides which ones to
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Fri Feb 20, 2009 08:10 AM PSTfeature, same as with the blogs. If you look at the front page (not featureds, just front page after the featured) you will see that there are three duplicate feeds, one duplicating J's own feed on the museum exhibit, so obviously he does not decide what gets posted. (). If you only tried once and you did not get posted it was most absolutely definitely a glitch unless you posted something so offensive, so outrageous...which I highly doubt...
so TRY AGAIN to post feeds! If you have a problem write to foaad@iranian.com, It is really interesting to post feeds and sometimes when you are having trouble writing it's a good way to keep the creative juices flowing. And as a satirist would give you great ideas too..and oh, god, I can't wait to see what titles YOU'D come up with...one can only dream..
;oP
ps oh yeah and btw i can assure you i hog the space..but i am trying to do it less...problem is i get a lot of important breaking stories and some REALLY funny ones, too, it's because i have a special trick for searching for the feeds..but i go overboard, i am learning to rein it in a bit...
Hog the space?
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Fri Feb 20, 2009 07:34 AM PSTDoesn't the editor ultimately decide which newsfeed gets posted? I tried to post a news item once and it was not posted. So, what I'm saying is that if the editor monitors what gets posted, you don't really "hog the space".
