I have to replace a free newsfeed on my site (it has become prohibitively expensive). We intend to use a spider creator to create spiders to crawl several sites and harvest headlines and links to create our own feed. The spider will write the results to a mysql database.
I need suggestions about the best way to display the data once I have it. Should I create a script that will transform it into an rss document and use a channel to display it (I know about this in theory but I have never done it). Or would it be better to use an simple asp recordset to display it? I really need advice to on the most efficient way, in terms of server resources, to display the data.
Also if there are better ways to capture the data and store it, I would be interested in this advice also.
Thanks for the information
