UpCurrents

upCurrents is an update aggregator. It aggregates news, tweets, UP-FM audio stream, videos from various trusted sources automatically and feeds them via its website (dilc.info/currents) or mobile app (see download below).

dilc.info/currents

upCurrents now collects updates every 15 minutes from the following sites:

• UP Diliman
• UPD OVCRD
• UP System
• DILC and its tweeter feed
• GoogleNews RSS on "University of the Philippines"

Many UP sites should be included but the challenge is that they're not RSS-ready.

Mobile Download

• upCurrents v1.1 (Android; released 8 August 2013). Also available on Google Play
