Over at currybetdotnet, Martin Belam has produced OPML files for all the RSS feeds published by the eight leading UK newspapers.
This amounts to the aggregation of 2316 different feeds – though individual author feeds for the Guardian’s Comment is Free admittedly account for 1968 of these. A CiF-less version with 348 feeds is also available.
So what?, you might think, I can’t keep up with 50 or so feeds I already subscribe to.
This is the value. Open a new Bloglines or Google Reader account, import the feeds, and you’ve got a searchable database of the whole UK press any time you want it. If there’s a subject or a person or a business or a brand you care about, then finding out about news stories about them can be done in moments. For free.
