RSS News feeds

Post by phpnewb1 »

I was thinking about getting a news feed for my site. Does anyone know of any good free ones that can be used on commercial sites?

I'm sure if you did some googling around you'd find something.

I've had to do some research on this in recent days. I haven't found anybody that lets you use their newsfeeds for free if you are a non-commercial website. So if you don't make a dime in anyway on from your website/business (adwords included) you can just go to news.google.com and use their rss feeds and do what ever you want with them -- be sure to read the terms of use for yourself.

Thanks for the tip on moreover Everah hadn't heard of them before.

If you put RSS on your site, be on the lookout for scrapers!
