Cool Green RSS-Feed Site

We just received an email from someone today asking if it was ok to add our RSS feed to their site. Just to make sure it wasn’t something spammy I checked it out and was really impressed with what they’ve got going on!

If you are looking for a great all-in-one list of the daily green news and blog headlines, be sure to check out: PanNatural

I get the feeling they are continuing to add new feeds/links all the time so it should get even better!
This is a great option for me personally, since I find it very easy to fall out of ‘the loop’ as far as what’s going on in the green blogosphere. The site should definitely help me stay in touch with all the new and exciting green headlines!

UPDATE: I just wanted to let everyone know that Richard from PanNatural emailed and has assured me that he is working very hard to rectify the feed issue on the site (in some cases, rather than pulling blurbs, PanNatural has been pulling entire posts from other people’s blogs).

In his words:

I know that this is a huge problem, have rewritten the code and now can set character limitations for each feed manually. Soon, you won’t see entire posts on the site (I have to go through all feeds, check and set them one-by-one).

It’s a great idea, but I have a problem with how they are doing it right now. They have Green Options up there now (I guess they are working off of “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission) and are posting our whole posts. Not blurbs or summaries, but the entire post.

Way not cool.

We’re talking to them about it, hopefully they see the light on that. If they just pulled back from posting the entire post and had headlines and blurbs, it’d be a great site and could offer a lot to the green blogosphere.

Keep on Rocking Bentley!

:D

Hi Shea,
Thanks for stopping by!
It’s funny - one thing I meant to mention in my post was that I didn’t see Green Options there ( I guess I must have missed your listing)

Thanks for the info - I didn’t realize they were including full posts from other sites! That’s definitely not the way to make friends!

I’m going to go check them out again and (assuming they are still adding full posts) add an update to my post so people are aware of this (in case your comment is missed). I think with a little pressure from a few greenies they’ll change their tune!

Cheers

B.
