Syndic8 Launches Directory of News Headlines

Syndic8 ( http://www.syndic8.com/ ) has announced their directory of over 4500 syndicated news headline sources. These are those RSS sources I won't shut up about. I haven't talked about RSS in a while, so now's as good a time as any.

There are several ways to find headline on Syndic8. If you want to just jump into headlines, use the feed page at http://www.syndic8.com/feedlist.php . Here you can search by keyword, generator (Movable Type, Squishdot, etc) date of addition, etc. You can also browse the listings alphabetically.

Clicking on the name of the feed will take you straight to the feed site. Clicking on the feed number, on the other hand, will give you information about the feed, including URL and most recent headlines. This is not really a site where you want to read the headlines; instead, use the headlines to determine if you want to save the feed URL for a headline reader, like AmphetaDesk ( http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/ .)

If you're more interested in feeds organized by subject, you can check out the subject index at http://www.syndic8.com/feedcat.php , which offers feeds in DMOZ categories, News Is Free, and Headline Viewer. There aren't as many feeds here (I wonder why not? Not enough time to manually categorize incoming feeds?) but the subject headers are easy to "drill down," and you'll get headlines in addition to feed information you'll get from the larger directory.
