Your news section reflects only western news sources. Why not include the rest of the world? Al Jazeera, China Daily, news sources from the Indian sub continent, Australia, Africa, etc?

There are occasionally some feeds that just won't play nice with the way it reads feeds, if one of those are among the requests I'll inform you of it.

It's not a question of what I want, but I think it might improve discussions, don't you? I know, for example, that Al Jazeera is only available in the state of Maine (or somewhere like that) and without loitering in the various China towns the China Daily (yes, I know it is government propaganda) is unavailable.
This morning's ABC news report of the G20, for example, showed Americans a not altogether fair and unbiased view. Believe it or not, your president was neither the host nor the only performer!
Anyway I can only ask. If you can, you can. If you can't you can't (pron: - ka:nt not kant).
What is an RSS feed BTW?

It stands for "Really Simple Syndication", you can, for instance, use the feed from this site (JPPolitics.com) to get informed on what people are talking about without actually visiting the site as the feed will send you tidbits on the current discussions.

Not sure that I want to start learning stuff again. I find matchboxes confusing and I never know just how I am supposed to take care of my mouse.
My immense generosity allows those with a technical bent to prove their superiority and allows me to wonder at their genius.

I'll see if their feeds work with the system I have installed.

Al Jazeera's feed doesn't read correctly. I was unable to add their feed.

Well, I added an Australian newspaper, and I already had BBC. If you can find a site or two that you want me to see if I can find a feed for, well. Post us a link. I can add as many, or as few, as people will use.
