AALBC.com Book Industry News Feed

I just set up a news feed to aggregate book related news stories from various sources. It is pretty cool and offers an intersting mix of stories including; Octavia E. Butler's (http://authors.aalbc.com/octavia.htm) Posthumously released Sci-Fi book 'Fledgling' and another on how Nalo Hopkinson (http://authors.aalbc.com/nalo_hopkinson.htm) is carrying Butler's mission forward...

You're a genius. Is it some javacode that you wrote your own self? I can't tell. Either way, you're brilliant.

BTW, I have the Obama book - Audacity - the one you got on our case about not buying, but I probably won't read it. I'm busy reading the other two books that I ordered along with that one :-)

Thanks you two. The feed is the result of some some software I purchased from a company named Feedzilla. Other companies often similar services ranging from free to thousands of dollars. Feedzilla is one the cheaper side.

So I can not take credit for the code itself, just implementing it.

Chris, I do not see the articles now either. The articles are not static so do not expect them to be there permanently.

I do know those two articles were there yesterday and the day prior. I'm surprised they rolled off given the dates of the remaining articles... oh well.
