Question

This is a question, not a criticism. Of what benefit is this as opposed to going to the SP What's New page? Why not just go to SP as I do way too much already? Perhaps an explanation of this would help me and some others understand the Why of this article.

Good question

Websites publish lists of updates (called "feeds") that indicate when new content has been posted. You can subscribe to these feeds in a feed reader. Then, instead of visiting all the websites that you want to check for new content (like SP), you only check your feed reader where all the new content of all the websites that you are tracking is listed (usually with links to the new content). You should try it, it's an incredible time saver.

This article explains how to subscribe to feeds for new SP content.

Thanks Daniel!

Thanks for putting this up. I saves a lot of time for someone who has to administer the site. However, there's something wrong with the "areas & ranges" link:

Queryable feed for places and routes?

Hi Daniel,
I am preparing a mashup and I would like to query the places / routes of SP and display the results on a map. What I need is
- place ID
- name / desc
- geo:lat + geo:lon
- URL to SP resource

Is there, you think, a feed like this available?

Ádám

Re: Queryable feed for places and routes?

adszhu, saw your post just now...

I'm not aware of such a feed but it should be easy to implement using the techniques I use for the above feeds (screen scraping). If you still need help send me an email. -- Cheers Daniel
