Integrating www.iQuango.org/news into SpinDifferent.com
SpinDifferent covers news/briefings from the executives of UK, US and UN, and we have iQuango.org News which looks at news/briefings from the international NGOs.
Given the volumes of posts in iQuango, we can't just give them a the SpinDifferent column - as they'd drown out the executives as at least one NGO will be talking about that topic every day.
So how should we cross link the two?
Ideas and comments very welcome.

Tricky question. Clearly having too many columns undermines the purpose of being able to quickly scan each source's activity by each day. One way to keep this but allow the user to increase the number of sources might be to:
a) create some broad categories within the iQuango sources eg. Statements on search term Y by:
- all NGOs with an annual income of >£x (use Intelligent Giving to get this info)
- all NGOs by mandate eg. human rights, conflict resolution, emergency relief
- Intergovernmental organisations
- governments within a particular region of group of countries
- news sources from within a particular region or group of countries
b) include any results for search term Y in each category as nested blocks in a expandable/collapsible container within each row (far easier to visualise than explain!)
Alternatively, what are the most useful comparisons to make? I'm always interested in the differences between what the government says and what NGOs say. For example, comparing the government of Zimbabwe's public statements with those of NGOs working in Zimbabwe, and statements of neighbouring governments would be quite useful.
