Yet Another Way to Read the Raleigh Headlines

Written by S. Beaumont and filed under Local Sites 

Raleigh Universe News FeedsIt’s been well documented that I like to scan the Raleigh headlines, and that I’m not alone–our News Feeds page is one of the most visited parts of the site.

Recently, my Netvibes account was upgraded to participate in the beta version of their newest release, Ginger. One of the key futures of this upgrade was something that I’ve been looking forward to for a while, the ability to create a “Universe.” Basically, a Universe is a way to share one of your pages, or a group of news feeds, with others and a way to create a central location of headlines covering a particular topic. Mine of course, is about Raleigh.

If you don’t like the way my page is set up, you can change it around to suit your own needs if you’d like. I’ll also be happy to adjust my page to suit your needs if you have a good recommendation. Enjoy.

    Wow! That’s a LOT of headlines. Great roundup of local blogs, too!

    Very cool way to get your Raleigh fix. The only suggestion I would have for that service, if it is not already there, is for some way of knowing what links you have clicked on. For example, a new link would appear in bold and already viewed links would be non-bold. Just a thought.

    It’s there - once you click on a story it turns to light grey.

    Thanks. Somewhere down the line I hope to create something similar with even more of a local feel and more control over the layout and content. But for now, hope it’s enjoyable and useful.
