Footy Feeds
by Mike on May.02, 2009, under General, Projects, Web Development
Love football? I know plenty of people who do. One problem is though, there isn’t one central place where you can get all the news about the football world. Sure you can go to the BBC news website and see some of the news, but this isn’t everything. I spent five minutes visiting various sites and I noticed that if you want to know everything then you need to go to at least 4 different sites to get a comprehensive look at it all.
This is where the idea of Footy Feeds has come from. Essentially it’s just an RSS aggregator, grabbing news from various websites and displaying the ten latest posts all in one place – but it’s very useful. I’m not a huge football fan and I still use it.
At the moment the site is based on four set feeds which are the one’s I found to be the best. However, if the site takes off a little I will make it customisable, allowing the user to add as many feeds as they want and allow the user to select which feeds they want to display from a set available, or alternatively set their own feed URLs.
