As some of you may have noticed, we're now pilot testing some new stuff on this forum. In this forum: ALPHA TEST: Information Feeds, you'll see that we've added a few topics that point to some information obtained from external sources (right now, FXStreet and Briefing.com)
Basically, these topics contain information (or widgets) supplied or syndicated by the content providers. The information is updated on a periodic basis (daily, weekly, etc. whichever is applicable for that particular data feed). As this information is being pulled as they're viewed, please bear a little with any slowness you might experience.
There are some quirks, as you can see (mainly cosmetic), and we'll try to see if we can get those fixed along the way. Meanwhile, please do give them a try, and provide:
(1) Your feedback on these features - e.g. if they're helpful or not, the performance, etc.
(2) Your suggestions on other information that would be good to include.
My intention is not to overdo things - e.g. I'm not going to syndicate news items from all the service providers like Reuters, Bloomberg, etc. I'm specifically looking out for obscure but useful data & tools, etc. For example, if there's a RSS feed for BDI, it'd be great 'cos we'll then save some manual effort in the daily pull, copy and paste, etc.
Anyway, enjoy! (or maybe not).
