Sitecore Fetch Squad

Automated crawler fetching websites and blogs from Sitecore content

About

Posted by admin On June - 3 - 2008

This is my personal sandbox where I am trying out to run WordPress as CMS and in the same time crawling some RSS feeds from Sitecore CMS related blogs. This gives me some test content that is actually worthwhile to read :)

Right now this solution runs on Cron job that crawls about 30 RSS feeds once a day and checks if there is new content it parses it (Magpie) and creates a post out of it with a link to orginal post. The goal of this site is to create feed based news site that is fully automated so it does not require any editors same way as Google News.

This is 100% fun project and I may just delete whole site unless someone finds it useful. Also, if you want the source code or more info how I made this just leave a comment.
