signal-to-noise ratio

[Curtis]

@GrandOldTeam I guess what always makes me frustrated is that there isn't a separate transfer thread solely for transfer story embeds or links without the additional commentary, so if you're looking to keep apprised of transfer news you don't have to shift through 50 pages for actual info. Is it possible to start a separate one just for transfers rumor embeds and no comments? If not no worries

@Curtis Moved this from the fume thread, to here.

I'm thinking a single, seperate thread, with the latest news automatically posted in there by automation, which doesn't allow replies could be a good thing for us to test.

Almost like out own news aggregator but one we can sling unreliable sources from?

Wondering if having a section like the below could work;

Everton Newswire

Everton Newswire brings you the latest credible Everton news and social media updates in one place. Updated hourly with trusted sources, so you can stay on top of everything Everton without the noise.

www.grandoldteam.com

... early days, currently pulls in from;

Tweets filtered by keyword "Everton" - including Boyland, Joyce, Ornstein, Hunter, Bobble and Romano.
+ Google News Feed, filtered by blacklisting terrible sources, so would be ongoing process for a spell.

The only thing is its keyword heavy really, so if a top source says Leeds are signing former Everton striker Calvert-Lewin, then it'll show. Its not really massively relevant.

I for one welcome this addition to the forum.

Is there a way of accessing the newswire from outside this thread, or is it still being tried out? I have not been able to find it elsewhere on the forum. Apologies if I have missed it in an obvious place - I just think that it could be better placed if embedded in the transfer thread/Everton forum.

It's in 'Whats New' for now.

We can put it anywhere in the future, but figure it needs developing still.

Just purchased the software for it - between us all we'll be able to decide whether it becomes useful or not (or worth £140 a year!)

Feedback appreciated.
