Embed external RSS Feeds in Povo

June 27, 2008
Povo is a Creative Commons work, meaning you can take our content and reuse it for free as long as you give us attribution. Because of this, we generally try to "internalize" anything in Povo, such as images, so that you can be sure the work is "complete." We still think this is a goal, but we also have to be realistic. For example, you can embed You Tube videos, but we don't load them into our database. This is partly because we consider YouTube a "stable" content reference: they're unlikely to go out of business anytime soon. Today, we have also created a "super template" (templates that use things like Javascript or special server code) for embedding RSS feeds. The original intent is for things like news stories or blog entries which are not meant to be searchable or persistent on Povo. For example, here's this page as a feed in itself:

Or a feed of news stories purporting to be about the Back Bay (from [1]):
