I get feeds from technovelgy, Science News, ScienceDaily, Science@
NASA, and Free Speculative Fiction Online that I enjoy.

Those are actually comments on posts. I switched around blocks a bit
and that one lost its title at some point.
If you're talking about the "E-Book Queen" search engine, that just
looked like spamming, to me, though there was one above it where the
user's site URL was what looked like a file-sharing site. Those were
both posted before we added a third-party filter to scan comment
posts for that sort of thing. I deleted both of them in any case.
So, any ideas on good feeds for news?
I'd love to be able to think of a way to bring together inspiring
stuff -- Frank's post from a few days ago reminded me that I'd
forgotten about Long Now, which often has interesting speakers and
always makes the talk available for podcast aggregation.

Hey, Eric. I just want to point out a message that needs to be
removed.
In the right hand column of the r-spec page, there are blurbs that
are presumably from the google group. The one at the bottom, from
eDave, caught my eye because it starts out, “Pat, I share your
fondness for reading…” Since I’m the only Pat in the group (that I
know of) I took a look to see what the conversation was about.
Someone named Pat posted a link to an ebook search engine and Dave
responded to it. The site listed is a porn site.
So, not only do I want to suggest you remove it, but I also want to
be sure you don’t think it was from me! Egads!!
: )
thanks

Actually, I've had to remove all the Locus feeds from aggregation
for the time being. They're displaying with the same URL. I'll get
them back into the list when I figure out why they're not working,
but until then the home page is only showing SFWA and BSFA.

Jonathan, Dave Henn & I have agreed that it would be nice to have a
summary of "industry news" on the R-SPEC.org home page. What kinds
of places do you look for news about speculative fiction, SF,
fantasy, etc.? Of those, which ones do you think would provide value
if they were aggregated into a single listing?
To get started, I've created a listing on the R-SPEC.org home page
that rolls up recent posts from several "industry" sources: Locus
magazine, SFWA, and the BSFA [British Science Fiction Association].
See them, along with a minor reorganization of our home page, here: http://r-spec.org/
(Note: this is part of a stepwise progression to a new site design.
Since the design itself has been going slowly, I felt it was a good
idea to roll out some of the new easy-to-launch features we're
planning, rather than wait for them.)
