I was checking for current incidents today on the CFS.SA.GOV.AU webiste & I noticed they have introduced RSS Feeds.
Congrats on a great way to deliver the information....just a pity my work has that facility restricted..So I will setup on the home computers.
you're not wrong.
Funny thing is I work for another branch of government and I can't get the feed on my work puter either!!!!
Another good option is using the power of Twitter.
There is a website called http://incidentalert.com.au/ that will email or SMS any incidents that happen in a town(s), region(s) or anywhere in the state. This service does have a cost to use, but covers SA & Vic.
The other option is use the power of Twitter. The website above also updates incidents onto Twitter, with a different Twitter account for each region & state. You can then have Twitter SMS this message to your mobile for free if you are with Telstra. I find this works really well for finding out whats happening around the area and for what could be heading our way.
Check out http://twitter.com/IncidentAlertS1 for the Region 1 incidents.
SO how do you actually set it up so twitter sends these messages to your Telstra mobile? Just curious :-)
