This mashup artifact contains feed from the following sources:
1. Google News Feed for the topic "Social Media Technology". This RSS feed was created using the RSS.app tool.
2. Reddit Feed for the subreddit /SocialMediaNews. I discovered that you could add .rss to any Reddit URL for a subreddit and it allows you to generate the RSS feed URL that The Landing's pinboard integrated with very well.
3. Twitter Feed for the hashtag #SocialMedia. This RSS feed was also created using the RSS.app tool. I tried to cap the number of RSS feeds I generated using RSS.app only to two due to the limit of two RSS feeds for a free account.
4. Feed from The Landing for Blog Posts containing the tag, 'COMP650'.
5. Technology News on BBC. This was created using the XML provided by BBC's website.
This page also contains a comments section and any feedback from the colleagues would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy your stay on this page.
See the help Pinboard for both an example and a description of how to use Pinboards.

The Pinboard is a powerful and sophisticated tool to collect and present your posts, with a lot of control over the layout and appearance. Note that, for owners, there are three modes to consider: creating or editing the pinboard itself provides the usual title, description and tags that you get with most Landing posts, as well as the means to choose your Pinboard layout. Once you have created the Pinboard, you can view it in edit mode or display mode. In edit mode you can add widgets to display the content, whereas in display mode you can see it as others will see it. Note that, like wikis, you can allow other people to contribute to your Pinboard if you wish.
Once you have created your pinboard you can pin almost anything on the site to it - look for the pin icon on most pages. Pinning something to a pinboard makes it available to be used, but you will need to add a 'pin' widget to actually display it on the pinboard.
