AidResources stores a mass of articles and blogposts, collected from hundreds of different sources using a series of tools I described on BlogTips.
While AidResources’ posts are automatically updated, I handselect and curate the sources to keep the content relevant. This distinguishes AidResources from many other aggregrators: it combines quantity with quality.
Per year, we collect over 20,000 articles, stored and indexed in a database, which can be used in different ways… So how can you access the information, and keep up to date, other than browsing the site?
If you browse from your mobile, AidResources will automatically convert its layout so you can access the articles easier and faster from your phone or tablet.
The simpliest way to keep abreast of the latest articles published on AidResources, is to subscribe to our RSS feed. Or you can get the latest articles automatically delivered via Email, once a day.
Use the search box in the side column, to query the database with all articles.
If you have topics of particular interest to you, then you can create an RSS feed for any topic and even get daily emails with the latest articles of that topic via our sister site, Humanitarian News.
We broadcast 8 updates per hour via @AidResources on Twitter. If these are too many tweets, then follow @AidResources2, which broadcasts at 2 tph (Tweets per Hour): Same content, less tweets.
You’re a Facebook addict? No problem, you can check our latest posts on our Facebook page.
Every 24 hours, we publish a nicely formatted online digest of our Tweets. It is even available in different languages!
If you want this daily tweet-digest delivered by email, then click on “Subscribe” on top right corner of the digest.
What else can we do to keep you updated?
