Thoughts Media Corporate Site Updated
I'm pleased to announce the launch of Thoughts Media Inc.'s corporate home page - there's not much corporate information there yet, but what is there is pretty darn cool: Fabrizio Fiandanese, our Lead Developer & Designer, has whipped up an RSS feed that merges the news from all three network sites. This is a central page you can go to in order to see what's happening on all three sites. If you're interested in a particular site, it's best to subscribe to the RSS feed from each site, but this is a good page to visit when you're on vacation and you just need to see what's happening on all the sites at once. ;-) Let us know what you think of it. Would there be any interest in an RSS feed that combined news from all three sites - a Thoughts Media RSS feed? |

This is a great idea Jason, but aren't you worried about making the main pages of the other 3 sites redundant?

Not at all. The RSS feed only gives the first two sentences or so from each post, so in order to read the story you have to click on READ MORE or DISCUSS THIS STORY, and then that takes you to the actual Web site. This home page is just a small peek into what's going on with the sites - people will still have to visit the individual site if they want to get the whole story, which is what I want.  |

Way cool...
How about being able to customize the RSS feed? I don't have a smartphone, so those stories might not be of any interest to me, but having both DMT and PPCT as one feed would be nice. I'm sure some people might only want SMT and PPCT as one feed too...

Nice site... I might change the settings of IE to have that one as a homepage, so far PPCT was always my number 1 
Did you know that SPT is one of the few links listed in the German MS Smart Phone booklet?!?!? |

Hmm...I'm not sure if that's easy to do, but I'll certainly look into it! |

Sure, I'm expecting some people to do that, and it's a good thing for our sites, because it will very likely mean more visitors stopping by because they'll get a wider exposure to the content across our network.

If anyone could do it, I'm sure Fabrizio can. :lol: |

Something like the iTunes RSS builder would be cool. |
