Just a little FYI on my experience using the news feeds, whether it's from
Moreover.com or iSyndicate.com. Your best bet is to run a background
harvesting app and put the links, headlines and source info into a local
database and call it up from there. Experience with both of these has
taught me that if they're down, or if there is a network problem or
congestion, your pages can take an excruciatingly long time to load or maybe
even not load at all - depending on how you've coded the page. You can
either write the harvest load into a database or even write it out to a file
with CFFILE and call it with a CFINCLUDE. This will make your page load
MUCH faster and maybe even prevent non-loading.
