Improved RSS for St. Louis Beacon
The all-online St. Louis Beacon has greatly improved its feed offerings, as a glance at the output reveals. Previously hampered by the limitations of its Twitter feed to the usual 160 characters and content that was just a repetition of the headline, the new RSS news feed provides for complete headlines and fuller actual content (including images) from the given news article, as well as a “Read more” link. According to Beacon Presentation Editor Brent Jones, the new process also eliminates the need for manual updates, which sounds like an onerous task that the Beacon is well rid of.
The Beacon has provided a much-improved feature, one that its readers will doubtless appreciate. Update your feed readers with the new link: http://tinyurl.com/3kmwe7.
