Thanks so much for this post. Made my day.
Feedreader not loading right on startup, had to disable... this sux!
Van, you can be assured of one thing...
You've done and you keep doing a great deed.
You are to be commended my friend.
In this labyrinth-jungle of OTC, and the shark eating shark
waters of pinks, you are a voice or pragmatism and objectivity.
Through your AXIOMS at Van Scan board, and the introduction
to RSS including your personal list of feeds, you have shared
your knowledge, experience and years of research in a manner
that is honorable and Axiomatic. I am grateful, and Thank you.
So much to observe through your list of feeds alone, that it feels as being
in the middle of a maze. So glad though to be in a maze and out of the jungle. Thanks to you.
Overwhelming list of feeds accumulated through your time and research,
and it is a treasure to a person like me that does not have the time for all the research required. There is a question that I have for you that will help enormously.
For a person that has a limited time on the computer during trading hours,
to which feeds would you direct him to go in the morning to get a feel
of where the potential plays of the day or week will be discussed.
Which are your top feeds that are a must read to narrow down the overwhelming amount of information.
With this, I will thank you again for all your help, keep up the good work,
and I am looking forward to your next AXIOMS.
Already have a question though: I have more boards I want to add to my feed, but I'm not seeing an RSS button/add feed button on the board pages. If for instance I wanted to add BB's board to my feedreader, ow would I do that? Thanks!
Holy smokes this is great! I'm a total luddite and either a late- or non-adopter to most things tech, but I just d/l the feeder and your OPL and am loving it so far! Person and boardmark 4 U. And a thousand internets!!
Thanks for this board vantillian! Big person mark earned!
nevermind, discovered the rss feeds were removed from twitter and can only be seen if logged out of twitter... thx tho!
Ok, finally jumped into Twitter, and not seeing how to find the Twitter RSS feeds, like the one's you've placed in your OMPL file... the one's I try to make require authentication then I get an html error, meanwhile yours work flawlessly... what gives? :)
Okay. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I've tried both. I still like feed reader. Feed demon doesn't update as fast imo.
Anyone familiar with both FeedDemon and Feed Reader to give a quick comparison of pro's and con's. I have used Feed Reader quite a bit, but it seems to get quite slow when the database grows and it is doing updates. It also only downloads the last 50 messages of a board the first time I open it. FeedDemon, which I just installed, syncs with Google Reader and looks like it will never miss a message.
Thoughts?
Rocky....I *believe* it will just add the new ones. There might be the risk of duplicates...
Also, please drop by the Van Scan more often. That board is about to go into warp drive bro and I certainly enjoy the interaction w/ you.
Hey V-til,
question re: your opml file... many thanks for your time making it, btw...
when inserting a new opml file, will it over-write the stuff we already have, or will it just add the feeds not currently subscribed? I don't want to lose all the people I watch, and have to plug'em in again... call me lazy :)
Hope you're doing well... as you can see, I dropped my paid sub... RSS provides most of what I need, and my subscription to... uh,... OTHER newsletters provides the rest.
Good trades this week, bro!
New OPML file uploaded!!!! TONS and TONS of new feeds. This represents a ton of work!

New RSS OPML file coming. TONS and TONS of new feeds coming.
I think they are making some noise and some Benjamins. Taking a stroll today MM107?.....LOL
Many thanks for your help in advising to use RSS,looks great,hopefully it will be useful as you said, glty.
Thats a pretty cool work station you got there. Do you trade on all those platforms?
TIA
Great to hear it!
Great Board! Been using Feed Reader for months now and can't live without it. Thanks again!
How's feedreader working for you guys?
Interesting stuff here~
Good deal, good deal!
Wow.
This is an incredible tool and I'm just getting started...
Thank you very much!
Just downloaded feedreader and getting set up.
WOW!
This is fantastic!
Thanks!!
Vantillian thanks for the links man!! Setting this up right now!
thanks. I'll look at that later
Exactly. Just download www.feedreader.com it's automatic it creates the database.
So I can locally save an RSS feed on my own computer?
like old, saved emails... I don't have to rely on some web server to hold the data for me...
I need to read about how to do that
It's automatic...the "archive" is the number of posts you allow in any given feed.... 100, 200, 300, etc....
How could one archive the feed?
Yes, good feed! It will go as far back as the archive size allows...
This RSS feed might be a good one.

Is there a way to retrieve old feed data? I missed a few days here:

I admit, I don't know much about RSS feeds.
NEW OPML FILE ---> http://www.otcuniversity.com/uploads/maximumrss.zip
Plenty of new RSS feeds!!!
Always feel free to suggest feeds that should be included in my OPML file. I am working to update the OPML file and should have it posted today.
Yeah same dude. LOL.
hey that's the guy from the MTPR board in your ibox. lol.. i knew he looked familiar.
Excellent! Please feel free to discuss on the board!
Just came across this. I will be playing with this this weekend.
I would die without this tool! Someday this is going to catch on in a MUCH bigger way than it already has!!!!! Mark this post!!!
Van. Is there a way that you can share real quick that you can clear unread post on feeder without having to click on each one?
Thanks
MrG
Will have an updated OPML file this month. Many new boards added!
Yeah, I did... it seems to happen once I place over 30 people in the "Ihub People" folder... After I completely reinstalled and added my peeps back in, it happened again at that number... so I pulled out a couple, made a 2nd folder lol. Back in action!
Thx for looking into it tho!

IMPORTANT! "RSS" is not a stock ticker! If you're looking for my hot stock picks, I mainly post them at my Van Scan board found here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=12481
This board (the one you're at) is a board designed to help you understand and use an RSS reader and RSS feeds to WIN BIG AT THE MICROCAP MARKETS.

TESTIMONIALS
by cargo_hauler
"(((((It's Awesome)))) The RSS feedreader is the first thing I turn on in the morning to get an idea of what people are talking about on the MOMO boards... With just a 30 second glance, I can see what people on 10 different boards are talking about, without going to any of the boards...It's really one of the more useful tools I have found to navigate the I-hub maze with...Thanks for "turning me on" to it last spring..."
by pennies2007
"Everyone needs to set up the RSS feeder. It's an extremely valuable tool for navigating IHUB. For those that don't know, it literally keeps you up to date and connected with multiple boards at the same time. It's how many of our IHUB folks receive the news feeds we post right here on OTCBB ALERTS."
There are plenty more testimonials by users just like you on the forum below!
**********************************************************************************************************
So if "RSS" isn't a ticker symbol, what is it??? Well, it is a free tool of unbelievable worth to investors. Please read on to find out more.
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." If you've ever seen little orange RSS or XML boxes on the sidebars or bottoms of websites and wondered what they are - now you know. They are links for those technologically advanced few that know the incredible value of an RSS reader. Basically it means that the webpage is set up in such a fashion so as to be uber-friendly to RSS readers. So what does "uber-friendly" mean? It means that the page has been coded in such a way as to allow these readers to slurp the meaningful data on the page and quickly organize it in a user-friendly manner...without the user ever having to actually visit the actual website/webpage. Think of it almost as new email arriving whenever the webpage is updated. RSS is especially useful to keep track of news sites, forums, and blogs.
Most browsers now AUTOMATICALLY discover if a website or webpage is equipped with RSS. Look for the little orange RSS symbol in or on or near your sidebar or address bar!
One of the most helpful tools available to stock traders is a good RSS feed reader. This will allow you to quickly scan the latest buzz regarding a vast array of stocks. RSS has helped me (and many others) to make a lot of money. If you want to keep your finger on the pulse of where investor dollars are going next - perhaps the most effective tool to help you will be an RSS reader.
IMPORTANT NOTE
On this board I'll be encouraging the use of only a couple different RSS readers. These readers are *FREE* to download and/or use. I am not selling anything here. I do not stand to profit from your downloading these or using these. My motive is to prove my worth to the iHub community and hopefully make a few new investor-friends in the process.
What an RSS feed reader allows me to do…
--Search the hottest boards for a specific stock ticker and see real-time posts about said ticker.
--Automatically download the latest posts of any board in real time. (even the ones that get deleted later LOL!)
--Put several different boards into one folder and see real-time chronological data across the entire spectrum of contents.
--Quickly scan thousands of words and easily browse (one click) to specific posts that look meaningful.
--Easily interact with posts/posters on boards you rarely visit based on their posting content of significance to you.
--Keep track of a specific iHub member and their latest posts (in real-time).
--Create ongoing "searches" (for things like buzzwords, ticker symbols, member names) that continuously scan and update data across a broad spectrum of hot stock boards.
In order to take advantage of the RSS feeds here at iHub, you'll need an RSS reader. There are hundreds available but I've found ONE that works best. It is called FeedReader. This is a standalone reader that is to your RSS feeds what Outlook is to your emails. (NOTE: you can also import your RSS feeds into Outlook, but I don't recommend it).
NOTE: This is freeware that is completely safe, works great, and has no spyware or viruses in it. 100% clean! FeedReader is still the fastest and most reliable in delivery *almost* real-time data. You'll have to ask me about the "almost real-time tweak."
STEP #1 - DOWNLOAD FEEDREADER FREE
Once downloaded, install it onto your computer.
RSS feeds can easily be imported or exported in an OPML file. Hopefully, something you will find to be of significant value is my OPML file that you can *freely* download and import into your reader. Yes, it's true. Free. No strings. Period.
This file should save you hours and hours and hours! If you're a microcap trader, I think I've got some of the very best RSS feeds of the best boards and the best posters that iHub has to offer. Barring any unfortunate unforseen dismemberments, I'll try and keep it updated somewhat regularly so you can be assured you're importing the latest and greatest (remember: iHub is in a constant state of flux):
STEP #2 - DOWNLOAD THE RSS FEEDS FILE
Save the file to your Desktop and then Import it into Feedreader by selecting File/Import OPML
STEP #3 - ADDING YOUR OWN RSS FEEDS
Adding A Board RSS Feed | Adding A Poster's RSS Feed |
Select File/New/Feed or Just hit F3. Paste the URL of the RSS feed into the box. |
IN CONCLUSION
Feel free to ask me questions on this board. I'll try and answer them. Just want to lend a hand to my fellow and sister investors!
Feel free to post your sage counsel on this board about RSS. Feel free to share your OPML file with others. If you try RSS and find it beneficial, please let the other investors know. Post a hearty "amen" or two and tell the world to use RSS.
RSS is an investor's best friend. RSS might even be better than charts at helping you win in the microcap markets!!!
