METHOD FOR PROVIDING NEWS SYNDICATION DISCOVERY AND COMPETITIVE AWARENESS

The present invention is a method for providing news syndication discovery and competitive awareness. The method includes generating a first search set, the first search set including at least one URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for being searched to determine if the at least one URL syndicates content from a first content provider's RSS (Rich Site Summary) feed. The method further includes validating the at least one URL of the first search set, the validated URL syndicating content from the first content provider's RSS feed. The method further includes generating a second search set, the second search set including at least one URL (Uniform Resource Locator) which syndicates content from a second content provider's RSS feed. The method further includes providing a report indicating at least one of: identity of at least one validated URL of the first search set; identity of the first content provider's RSS feed content syndicated by the at least one validated URL of the first search set; identity of at least one URL of the second search set; identity of second content provider's RSS feed content syndicated by the at least one URL of the second search set.
