As Howard Dean's presidential campaign is winding down, I've updated the demo page for activeRenderer's rssBox macro.

Readers can now browse information from 4 different sources on the same page:

  • The W4 John Kerry topic feed
  • The Command Post's US Elections feed
  • Feedster's Kerry Blogosphere feed
  • Feedster's Dean Buzz feed
The information density on this demo may be a little extreme, yet it's a good exemple of the way outlining lets you organize a lot of information in a clean and compact way on restricted screen real estate.

The template for the page is available for download, in zipped format.

The page would provide a better reading and comparing experience if feed authors provided good titles for each news item in a more systematic way, hardly a new complain in the journalistic world: bloggers often consider themselves writers, they need to become editors too.
