Getting NewsJunk through IM
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 by Dave Winer.
I haven't tried it, but this comes recommended... 
Since there's a NewsJunk RSS feed, it should work.
I'm going to try it now. Please let me know if it works for you.
Update #1: It was pretty easy to join. 
Update #2: I signed up to follow the NewsJunk RSS feed. It took a while but a new item showed up. And like FriendFeed, they ignore the RSS <description> element, which is a mistake, I think. Here's a screen shot.
Okay, there was a short description that went with that item. Why not push it down the line?
