I think many of the sites
I think many of the sites which (re)create content in a way like that in reality act as composite RSS feeds. Think I just was amazed at the lack of interest those sites, linked earlier, paid to the actual content. Which leads to the next question. Why would anyone create a website which in fact is a composite feed of other peoples content. Are advertising incomes good enough to make it worth it.
"Are advertising incomes
"Are advertising incomes good enough to make it worth it. "
I think you just answered your own question...
Mail-E again
Even if an incredible number of those links comes from the rss, i still managed to find original articles, in various languages like french, polish, japanese, chinese, bulgarian etc...
Have a look!
Damn, if Wall-E wasn't copyrighted, i'd make a sh*tload of money!
(and that's pretty funny, "TotoroYamada" quickly became "Totoryo Tamada", and a lot of them think i'm japanese...)
And at that time, the Youtube Video has been viewed more than 27000 times :D
Cool thanks for the info, i
Cool thanks for the info, i always thought rss were made just for people, never thought they could automatically add content to a website...
And it indeed explains why it's so fast!
The RSS technical aspect is
The RSS technical aspect is rather simple. A feed is just a file structured in a specific way according to standard(RSS, ATOM etc.). This file/feed is made avilable for the public and updated dynamically with new content. A webmaster could now just create a script which checks the desired file/feed with a given interval, and based on if it has changed since last time checked you could do whatever you like, including updating a website based on the feed.
Since feeds are public you can use them for whatever you like. You could create a program on your computer which checks a feed for updates and then sends a specific command to a serial output controlling a robot. Like your mailbot. You could make your mail-e update when new content arrives at LMR.
I actually already thought
