Duplicate content handling

There is a risk when it comes to SEO that providing multiple ways of accessing the same content may lead it to be penalised in Search Engine rankings.

Every activity in Plings should have a canonical location on Plings.net, and it may be right to have a canonical location in local websites, where those websites provide a substantively different interface / page from the central Plings.net

Good call Tim - implemented.

The 'Report Incorrect Information' link on Plings.net is too near to the Share links.

Solution #1: Small pop-up
Written by timd the 16 Sep 09 at 10:21.
A small pop-up appears whenever you hover over the share links at the top-right of the Plings.net site stating something along the lines of:

"Who are you sharing with? Make sure you take care not to reveal private information in public."

Or something similar which might link to guidance about not sharing definitive information about activity participation in public.

What's New  
Written by timd the 6 Aug 09 at 14:46. Global category: Publishing Plings Data. New
A feed or easy API call to fetch only recently changed records or information.

It would be great to be able to send information providers, youth workers, parents & young people a list of 'new' activities this week. This would be a feed which excluded (in some way) recurrence of activities from previous weeks - but highlighted substantially changed or new activities.

Some code which filters feeds to provide this 'new activity' functionality.
