| I have only been using this product for about a week and I really like it. Newsfeeds are new to me and am they give me exactly what I have been looking for without going to a million different websites. The only problem I have is so many duplcate headlines. Is there a way to prevent duplicates and if so, how? Thanks in advance for your help.--Anthony Ferrante

We can do things once in a while to reduce the number of duplicate items. It just depends on the feed. Some are more difficult to control than others. Pass the feed URLs and I'll see what we can do.

| Is there a way to copy all the feeds at once or do I have to do them individually? I have so many... Thanks, Anthony.

I just need URLs for the feeds where you are seeing duplicate items. I don't mean a single duplicate once in a while, but feeds that consistently show duplicates for a good number of articles.

Anthony, are you talking about duplicate articles in the same feed or articles that are duplicated across multiple unrelated feeds - or as I call it, the "100 people think this post is interesting and have posted it on their blog" syndrome  ?

| Hi, I am talking about the same feed over various news feeds. Say the same headline may appear in AP, Fox News, CBS, ect. Any way around that or no? Thanks for trying to help. Antony

No, there's no way around that. These news organizations all repost items from the Associated Press and Reuters and other sources. They typically keep the same headline, but are not required to.
Although these news articles come from the same original source, they are reposted by these other news organizations. Finding duplicates across multiple feeds is not something we are doing at the moment, but it may be a goal we work toward at some point in the future.
