DanceParade Rotterdam

Last Year I was able to visit the Rotterdam DanceParade and took the first images with my digital cam. Damn I was not lucky this year. Other priorities came across our path.

I’m looking for kewl foto’s from the FFDP 2003. Anyone?

What we did in stead? We visited a ‘kitchen-shop’ for our new home cause we need a kitchen and after weeks of looking we took our first advise.
Damn that’s expensive stuff ! EUR 10.000 is nothing .. for a simple one.

NewsNow.uk: RSS feed at request! [KEYWORD RSS]

NewsNow.co.uk has more than 11.000 newssources. Even more than news.google.com

Enter a keyword and you get specified news. If you want to have a specific RSS feed from that keyword: mail me the keyword and I create a feed for you
(one word only !)

Some examples you can find here.

Ps. NewsNow has RSS only as extended feature for their subscribers.

:: update ::
AC is mentioning the Keyword RSS topic. Maybe cool new Idea feature for Mike (MyHeadlines creator) to create scraped feeds with keyword option. Cause the output is the same, so the scraper does not need to be altered only the URL.

Google Adsense #4

Yesterday I wrote a message to the google people to reconsider my site as it is in English .. Today I received an e-mail after they visited my site.

Hello Dennis,

Thank you very much for your interest in AdSense. Our goal is to be able
to extend our service to as many web publishers as we can. Unfortunately,
after reviewing http://www.aroundmyroom.com/blog we are unable to accept
it into our AdSense program at this time.

In general, we do not accept personal or chat sites or blogs into the
AdSense program. However, if a site contains targeted, text-based content
and/or provide a product or service, we may consider it for participation.

When you submit your application for AdSense, our specialists will review
your website and use their discretion to determine whether your site is
appropriate for the program.

For more information on site requirements, please visit our policies page

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Damn .. my website is not having targeted, text-based content
Not about syndication, not about RSS. I am laughing my ass off .. In general … my ass.. I’ve seen the just launched typepad weblogs with adsense stuff on it already.

I think I will remove all my categories cause google things it is not targeted, text based content..

:: UPDATE: why can they ACCEPT this website and not mine ??

Popular Internet Images

I’m scraping a few Yahoo sites with: most e-mailed, most popular, ratings, AFP photos. With these scrapes you get a nice RSS feed.

I was irritated about the scrape(s) cause I did not scrape the description.
From today: the popular internet images do have the description also

If you have a site with ‘popular’ images I can check if I can scrape it for you.
The examples you can see at the above link

b.t.w. How old is Emma and where is she comming from?
The power of RSS: keep track of changes !
