About WorldofO.com

Lots of Elite Orienteers have excellent homepages. My problem has been that I wanted to read the news there as soon as it was published, but then I would have to check the pages several times a day - and most often I would be disappointed. Instead I ended up visiting the pages only once a week or once a month, and missed great stories when they were real news. My solution was to set up the new WorldofO - which collects the news from all the Elite Orienteers and other Orienteering sites out there, and places the top stories in one place.

I always link to the main page of the site instead of using a direct link to the news story for sites which want me to do this. News is presently collected every third hour - this should not at all pose a significant load to the sites in question. You can see which pages are included in WorldofO, and their status, at the status page.

The current version of WorldofO.com is in its test phase, and be prepared that there may be unstabilities. Any considerations regarding improvements are welcomed.

If you want your site included or if there are problems with the ways news is collected from your site, please feel free to contact me at jan@kocbach.net.
