One of the cool things that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcqn.com\/weblog\">Adrian<\/a> kindly did for us  was a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcqn.com\/feedonfeeds\/frames\/osw.php\">river of news feeds<\/a> that was displayed on the projector. This displayed all mentions of the conference, including all the delegates, and also since we are English the latest Test Match scores.<\/p>\n<p>Today whilst reading <a href=\"http:\/\/scobleizer.wordpress.com\/2006\/08\/22\/new-york-times-for-your-mobile-phone\/\">Robert Scoble&#8217;s<\/a> blog I noticed he was swooning about the river of news that his big friend and creator of RSS <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scripting.com\/2006\/08\/22.html#whatsNewForYourBlackberry\">Dave Winer<\/a>  has just released. This is a river of news feed stripped to its bare essentials for displaying feeds from <a href=\"http:\/\/nytimesriver.com\/\">The New York Times<\/a> and later <a href=\"http:\/\/bbcriver.com\/\">The BBC<\/a> on a blackberry or other mobile device. <\/p>\n<p>Since we are in a WEB2.0 world and Adrian was on MSN at 9.30pm I suggested maybe we should knock about with the  series of feeds that the BBC has  for football (Soccer to the Americans). So by 2am we had created 20 URL&#8217;s one for each football team in the premier division. Each URL is the initials of the club plus FC plus river.com so Arsenal is <a href=\"http:\/\/afcriver.com\">http:\/\/afcriver.com<\/a> nice and short for the mobile phone text entry (although it redirects to afc.newsrivers.com) and West Ham United is <a href=\"http:\/\/whufcriver.com\">http:\/\/whufcriver.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/whufcriver.com\"> <\/a> Manchester United is <a href=\"http:\/\/mufcriver.com\">http:\/\/mufcriver.com<\/a>  Adrian has written a script to display the stuff on your phone like this:-<\/p>\n<p><a atomicselection=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/newsite.geoffjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/screen443.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/newsite.geoffjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/screen44_thumb1.png\" style=\"border: 0px none ;\" width=\"240\"\/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>All rather cool I think.
