and a very good evening to ya!
I was just reading and come across a "news bot" that went off to say BBC news or what ever and then grabbed the story and then posted the contents of the story into a thread? not sure how good they are or even if they exist? i know we have bots that go about and read and that (as you know i was chatting to one !! that's another story!)
What would be the chances of it happening? and how hard would it be to do? Not even sure if it would be a good idea? but as people search etc for news storys (what ever it may be) then they'd get a smack in the face at the top of the search engines with "DW" Guess we could have the latest news for the relivant section as a sticky in what ever thread and topic we wanted?
I know that "meta" is crucial? and search bots love it, what about a "news bot" ? a bot that will go off maybe to an RSS feed or the like and then come back and post it on the forum?
Guess you see where I'm coming from?
Just another idea to throw in the mix....
