Upcoming Changes to the Phins.com News Wire (Sun-Sentinel Subscriptions)
Date: April 05, 2013 08:50AM
Phins.com Fans,
I am (unfortunately) well aware of the issues with the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel feed now that they have decided to force users to subscribe to their sports site.
As a result, I'm going to undertake a project during the off-season to allow users to customize the news feed on the website by selecting which sources they want to see. The technical details have yet to be worked out, but the easiest way to do it may be - ironically enough - to ask users to subscribe. If I do ask users to subscribe, subscriptions will be free and will only be used for the purpose of storing your preferences.
My goal is not to require a subscription, but if I do end up making it a subscription service, I will leave a version of the News Wire that is like the current one that doesn't require you to subscribe.
As always, your suggestions and requests are welcome (as long as they are civilized).
Thanks and Go Phins!
Curt
