OpenLeg now supports RSS, Email Alerts and PubSubHubbub

You might have noticed that the NY Senate OpenLeg system has a new view for browsing recent activity in the Senate and Assembly.

Of course we are all very busy people and probably don't have the time every day to go check the site over and over again. What if instead you want these updates pushed out to you? Well, that's what Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is for!

You can directly access and subscribe to the RSS feed for the latest bill actions through this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/nysenateopenleg
(you can also access through our direct RSS link here:
http://open.nysenate.gov/openleg/feed )

By routing our feed through Google Feedburner, we can automatically enable two additional services.

First, if you prefer email to RSS, you can receive daily alerts of all bill activity in the last 24 hours. Click here to subscribe.

Second, Feedburner gives us support for Pingshot, which is Google's implementation of the open-source protocol PubSubHubbub, something that sounds a bit wacky, but is becoming quite useful and interesting. Basically, it helps delivers alerts out to you more efficiently and quickly - always a good thing! Learn more about all the hubbub here.
