Note about Discontinued NewsFeeds:

In October 2008 I lost over half of the NewsFeeds that were here because one of my newsfeed providers ('EasyByte.com') decided to start charging US$299.00 (and up!) for its NewsFeeds. I can't afford that, so I've removed them from the list above.

Fortunately, the remaining NewsFeeds still function well. They're from a different provider. They're free but include one clearly-labelled "sponsored link" at the very top of each NewsFeed. (I just want to advise you about those "sponsored links".) Those "sponsored links" provide a small advertising revenue to 'FeedDirect' so they can offer the NewsFeeds without cost to me. Those "sponsored links" are not under my control, nor can I legally remove them. Seems fair enough to me, as long as I let you know.

In the future I plan to add more NewsFeeds from 'FeedDirect' here on quite diverse topics. I'll be getting them, customizing their JavaScript, and adding them here one by one. I'd like to have a large number of active NewsFeeds here, but that'll take time.

May 2010 Update:
Customizing the JavaScript of each Newsfeed individually takes a lot of time, and my time is rather limited.
Therefore, I'm going to start to investigate the possibility of converting RSS newsfeeds to HTML. If (or when) I have the time to figure out how to do that, I'll be able to add more Newsfeeds here, more easily and more frequently.

Bypass Registration for news sites that require you to register to read a "free" article. (Optional)

Go to www.bugmenot.com or www.anonylog.com to get a free "public" username and password for most such sites that you may find in these newsfeeds and elsewhere.

Those 2 sites don't include pay sites in their databases because that would be illegal. Their point is that you shouldn't have to waste your time registering, just to read a free article.

It's also about privacy. If you register on your own, your personal information may be used in unwanted ways. In addition, each time you use your own email addresses for such registrations, you increase the chances of getting unwanted junkmail.
