I am a tech news junkie, but I usually don't have the time I used to to peruse it. I normally surf DAILY ROTATION where I have my settings set for the top 100 headlines, as well as the headlines of multiple sources.

My thought is that if the bot is set up on a RSS feed or something, you might be able to tie it into the feed from dailyrotation in order to have more than just slashdot as a source.

Just a thought, though.

If anyone can do that, Chris can!

Do you think that would be too much added to the "In The News" forum? That might double the amount of posts in there everyday. For me, that wouldn't be too much because I read the titles that interest me and skip the others.

You've got a point there, Dave. I didn't think of the volume that would be generated.
