Looking for quake feeds

By Dave Winer on Friday, March 11, 2011 at 6:15 AM.

I'm sure there's a feed on each of the major news sites tying together all their quake coverage. I just wish I knew where they were.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

When there's a huge story literally breaking over the planet (and maybe breaking the planet), we need the most accelerated access to news. Not to have to go hunting for it. We have the technology and standards to do it, totally mature, we just have to use it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

If your news organization has a feed that ties together your quake coverage, send me a pointer. I will of course publish the OPML subscription list and keep it current, as I did with the WikiLeaks OPML when it was the breaking mega-story. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
