Okay, now that I have built www.freearticlestreams.com, time to go for real.

This site is a compilation of several free articles site out there, but rather than having to copy/paste their article, or to use a rss feeds which redirect your users to their directory, you can integrate the articles in an automated way in your sites.
Nothing against TOS of those sites, as the writers names and the link to the original site are preserved.

It's free, and there's no catch.
You signup, and setup a zone for each article category.
Each days, at 00:00 (server local time, gmt+1) the articles are rotated.
Each article who was displayed on your site is recorded, so you won't see 2 times the same article on 2 different days.

For now, I'm looking for people to integrate this, and suggestions to make it evolve and locate weak points in the system.
On the long run, I imagine putting 1 (and not any more!!!) ad below the article on a random display, thus lending some views and display to advertiser. But this is only a thought.

So, if any one here is looking for something similar, feel free to try.
As said, I'm open to suggestions.

Any one interested ?

I'm in the process of importing more articles.
I've got 23'000 to insert, but I have to clean up the datas a bit before.

But yes, there are about 400 articles in a political category in this batch.
I'll drop you a message when they will be inserted.
Probably tomorrow or by tuesday.

yes, you can, but it's not the recommended way.

The code is a javascript call. It works fine for normal browser, assuming that peoples have javascript turned on.

Another option is to use asp, php or another language, and by "reading" a certain url, you will be able to get the article text back.
From there, you can echo it as you like.

From php, for exemple, it would be like this (this is an exemple url, not real):
PHP Code:
$article=file_get_contents("http://www.freearticlesource/client/raw/357634596/");
echo 
$article
The url is a shortcut for a specific "zone", which is tied to a category.
You create as many zones you want, set the category, and get the code back to integrate in your pages.
