UK Animal Rights Feed, Up and Running

Dave B | 13.09.2010 23:44 | Animal Liberation

with so many grass-root animal rights groups with countless different websites, twitter accounts, blogs as-well as indymedia and the 'veggies animal rights calendar' one may find it hard to keep track of what's going on in the movement

Simplified explanation

A solution has been created

The UK animal rights Feed

The feed is an automated service that gathers the latest animal rights news from, indymedia, twitter accounts, blogs, websites, the animal rights calendar and more.

all these are then combined into one simple feed that is sent out via. rss, twitter and facebook automatically every half hour.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So to keep up to date

Add this to your RSS application

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=724c4717cc82a81efba7a12acc9ec0b1&_render=rss

OR

Follow on Twitter

OR

Friend on Facebook

The feed also has limits and filters in place so should not repost or spam

The feed is currently combining the following

the feed can also be placed onto a website via twitter, just use the following code

new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 20,
interval: 6000,
width: 250,
height: 300,
theme: {
shell: {

},
tweets: {

}
},
features: {

}
}).render().setUser('AnimalRightsUK').start();

This is a really nice idea. Could you also add Animal Warfare to this list as well, thanks!

That makes things much easier to monitor.

NETCU

Actually

it makes things harder to monitor

think about it

lets say the police are looking at all ip addresses that have looked or suscribed to say 'shefield animal friends website'

now there is the ability to know what a website has posted without getting your ip logged

as-well as the fact that the police probably have subscribed to all these websites already (if not, they're not doing there job properly) and have probably got a better list of websites as-well, in addition to tapped phones, emails, informers ect.

all the feed does is move publically available information from the public domain to the public domain. this will make it harder for the police to find out who has read the information.

Why I like this

If we want to grow as a movement we need to get the info to where the people are (in the case of the internet this means facebook/twitter)

This feed should encourage local groups to keep their sites updated, knowing that it will be automatically sent over various networks rather than to their short list of dedicated followers. an abandoned website does not give a good impression.

__________________________________________________________________________________

The feed allows people to anonynously post in indymedia and the article will be sent to facebook/twitter for sharing.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Not everyone checks indymedia constantly but they do with facebook/twitter. take yesterdays URGENT:MONKEY FLIGHTS article for example. if quick distribution is important, this feed is very useful
