Corante Hubs are great reading lists

Filed under: Product Features — Pito Salas on 7:58 pm

Corante recently started running three ‘hubs’ which are focused portals of original and syndicated content. For example, here is Corante’s Web Hub.

Picture 2-13 In the right margin there’s a Subscribe area where you find the usual RSS feed icons. But notice the Import OPML icon (see to the right.) That’s your reading list. If you want to follow this hub in BlogBridge, just make it a reading list.

Next, in Guide Properties, add the hyperlink for the “import OPML” as a reading list, and bingo, you’re in business! Notice the new Guide is automatically populated with all the feeds from the OPML, dynamically. That is to say, as Corante recruits new writers for this hub, they automatically display in your Guide.

Notice how each Feed that was automatically added because it’s on a Reading List has a little antenna icon with a tooltip telling you it’s origin.

Soon we will publish a list of useful Reading Lists on all sorts of topics and where you can find them on the web.
