Title: New board section
Post by: Rico on June 12, 2007, 04:34:58 AM
I enjoy computers and gadgets a lot.  I thought it might be fun to start a specific board section on Tech.  Post things here about computers, software (non-gaming), cell phones, gadgets, etc.  Let's get geeky!   :lamo

I like the idea of a tech section but I'm not crazy about clicking on "Show unread posts since last visit." and now have to scroll through 10 newsbot items just on tech news.

The News Bot for the Tech section was a feed test.  I have dropped it now.

I'm trying to find a good one that won't hit us with 20 posts a day.  It has to be an RSS feed.  The test one I ran was from CNET, but they seem to post a lot.  If anyone knows a good Tech site with Tech news that hits maybe 3-4 big stories each day let me know.  I'll keep looking too.

Yea...I'd be OK with 3 or 4 stories a day but 10 to 20 Would be a little much. I'll see if I can find something.
