If you happen to be bilingual or multilingual you can very often get interesting news items or stories of interest from other countries that may not be generally known and adapt them for the English speaking community or vice-versa. It sometimes gives you a head start before the story catches on. Thanks for the great suggestions Tony, I plan on using quite a few!

[...] How To Find News For Your Blog Tony, continuing to blog for Darren Rowse on Problogger.net has put up another great common sense post. This time talking about how to find news for your blog, something that many of us struggle with, especially on slower days. He mentions feeds, services, and sites you can go to for finding the latest news, but misses one of my recent favorites: Original Signal. Original Signal is much like Popurls, and other sites that bring together all the “greatest” content fed from other sites. So if you are looking for technology news, or even world news, Original Signal is a good resource to add to your list. Some news aggregators that Tony mentions include: Google News, Techmeme, Megite, Newsvine, and Topix. There are many such sites out there on the Internet, and even some for specific niches, so if you are blogging about technology, many of the above listed are great places to start. Why are such sites so important? Well, Tony lists a few reasons in his post: To get a birds eye view of news in a particular category (or many categories), such as the category that your blog occupies, you might wish to start frequenting news sites which use a mix of computer algorithms and human involvement to produce a list of the news. Google News is a great example of this. Many of them are updated every few minutes, and will balance and re-order the news based on how popular and worthy some news content is. The best part is that many of them will list their “sources”, whether they be mainstream news or bloggers. Using news aggregators is a great way of keeping on top of the big topics, and they are particularly useful if you’ve decided that its important for you to follow it for your blog (because your goal is to be a leader in your corner of the blogosphere with respect to that topic). Check out the full post over at Problogger.net. [...]

Hart — thanks for the kind sentiments.
Believe me, I still have other obligations that I have to attend to — were that I *could* blog all day (*THAT* would be fun!)

Thanks for the info about news blogging Darren. Burn the Candle is my third blog, but probably the one I will really focus on, so the info you wrote about here will be of immense help to me.
Thanks

[...] I mentioned Tony Hung yesterday as he is guest blogging this week on Darren Rose’s ProBlogger. Today’s post is about “How to Find News For Your Blog” and is a fantastic article about incorporating news into your own blog, especially for all my blogging virgins. I gotta plug Tony’s own blog as well; it’s already my favorite new blog of the year (not that it’s new but just new to me!) Thanks again Tony for helping the new kids on the block. [...]

Hey, great post! I have a list of usual sites that I can find news on for my particular subject. But I’m always on the lookout for new stuff. My problem is that I simply can’t write about every story that pops up on a daily basis – it would be information overload!

So I’m thinking about doing a “news digest” at the end of the week and touch on several stories (briefly) in one post, and provide links to those stories. That way, if a reader is busy throughout the week, he/she can stay caught up via my blog. I’m thinking about doing this on saturdays or sundays.

Good post! Thanks!

Brad
