In the States both McClatchy and Media General have teamed up with Groupon to offer localised daily deals, the NYT have their own TimesLimited and now Hearst have a white label agreement with Analog Analytics to offer similar local deals.

European publishers aren’t too far behind as the Telegraph, DMGT, Archant, and Axel Springer are all moving into the group buying space, with rival publishers surely not too far behind.

Of course, as the home of content aggregation, the team here at Moreover are busy working away on a “one stop shop” for all the deals in your area, so if you’re interested in receiving one of our free daily alerts for all the deals where you live then get in touch below!

The Ashes news, as England seek to retain urn won in 2009, and the road to the Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV will be covered by NFL Playoffs news.

We’ve still got all the sport feeds you’re familiar with but now added the ability to create your own saved searches and customised feeds.  So search for your favourite team or niche sport over our categories to get breaking news and latest scores from global sport news sources.


We’ve also added localised menus for US, UK, Global, and Event (think the Ryder Cup, Tour de France etc) focused sport, so whatever your interest we’ve got it covered.  Download the app from iTunes here, and as before tell us your thoughts so we can score another app success!

http://www.searchenginejournal.com/9-stratgies-for-finding-incredible-content/11271/

Thanks Search Engine Journal!  Good feedback too about finding the right content, we’ll continue to work on those features. In the meantime users can adjust relevancy of the results with the two slider bars there – the relevancy filter looks for articles that mention your search keywords the most, while the sources filter lets you select just top sources. You can also search within any of the prebuilt news categories.

At the moment it’s just news but we’ll be adding blogs soon, check back in the next week or two.

IE7 search box

1. Click the dropdown next to the browser’s search box, and select Find more providers

2. Enter the following URL in the Create your own section,
http://p.moreover.com/page?dh=earliest&wiz=2390512&query=TEST&r=1|2|3&relf=2&o=rss002

3. Hit Install - et c’est tout…

 

If you just want to link back to our search page instead of RSS, use this URL: http://w.moreover.com/public/free_services/rss_feeds.html?query=TEST

But the big new thrill is that you can run your keyword searches over our 600 news categories (‘woods’ over golf news, ‘black hole’ over space science news, etc) and effectively use the categories to filter the news for very targeted results.

It’s easy, go to the Combine Feeds page to find out how.

A few examples for your delectation:

- merge feeds:

http://p.moreover.com/page?dh=earliest&o=rss002&wiz=2390512&c=Top business stories|Top stories|Top finance stories|Top US stories|Top UK stories

- cross-reference feeds:

http://p.moreover.com/page?dh=earliest&o=rss002&wiz=2390512&c=Environment news|Climate change news&c=China news|India news|Indonesia news

- block feeds:

http://p.moreover.com/page?dh=earliest&o=rss002&wiz=2390512&c=Central America news|Caribbean news&c=!Mexico news|Cuba news

- keyword search over feeds:

http://p.moreover.com/page?dh=earliest&o=rss002&wiz=2390512&c=Environment news|Climate change news&c=China news|India news|Indonesia news&query=government AND (target OR targets)

 

You can also combine any of the above, for instance keyword search over a set of cross-referenced feeds.  We also added another 100 feeds to the list of prebuilts, takes it up to 600.  Suppose more news equals good news…
