IS-IT--Management
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I've done a lot of searching & can't find anything to put me on the right track.
I'm using my sharepoint site to monitor news coverage of various issues. I can embed Google News RSS feeds in a page, but I'm looking to track them long term and retain the data.
In a perfect world, each item that appeared on the google news rss feed would become an individual item in a sharepoint list that I could then query and add additional columns to. Essentially, I suppose I'm talking about a process that automatically creates a new list item every time a fresh headline appears, filling in fields for headline, url, publication date etc.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm stuck. Is this even possible with sharepoint? Even if a solution is attainable, can a code-savvy but essentially ignorant amateur hope to implement it? Any tips/advice/insights would be much appreciated. It may be that I'd be better off abandoning the idea and creating a standard list that I have to enter each news item into manually, but if this is the case, your saying so would save me a lot of time & effort.
Eternal gratitude to anyone who can help, nudge or point me in the right direction. I have various modern communications skills and will reciprocate if I can. Thanks anyway if you can't or simply don't have the time. I think the way people donate time to helping others on forums like this is remarkable - a hopeful glimmer of humanity in an otherwise bleak cultural & geopolitical landscape - so whether I find a solution or not isn't really that important. What matters is that many people do, and respect to you for being part of that.
If it makes a difference, I'm using mail2web's hosted service & sharepoint designer.
