RSS News from cigar related blogs

I came across a nice vBulletin plug in that will let us run an article bot. The article bot is a script that checks sites with RSS feeds and posts threads on each new article that it finds. I think this will be a nice addition that will make it much easier to keep track of some of the cigar blogs out there. I know it’s hard for me to read all the blogs I like to read everyday, this will make us a central place to go to for cigar related blog news.

What do you guys think?

Here are some of the cigar blogs I read when I can:

The Cigar Intelligence Agency: http://www.cigarintel.com/agency/
Cigar Jack: http://cigarjack.typepad.com/
My Cigar Blog: http://www.mycigarblog.com/blog/

Any others?

i think the rss feed i dea would be great. not sure if you still have any plans to do this but sounds like a great idea to me.

Yeah, this is next on my list of things to do. I might get to it this weekend if time permits.

Yup, I'm in the process of adding these guys now, glad you liked it.

I still got to figure out how often I want the bot to check/post. Please be patient while I work out the kinks.

I wrote the authors of the sites mentioned above for permission to post their articles. Cigar Jack gave the thumbs up (Thank You!). So I will be using his site to test with until I hear back from the others.
