=Guidance for Story Inclusion=
 * 1) Relevant - Related to AppSec OR OWASP
 * 2) No product/company pitches - Not a story touting a product, service, or company
 * 3) * In general, even an ad or solicitation at the bottom of an article will eliminate the article from inclusion
 * 4) Focus on application security
 * 5) * Not related to network security or OS security
 * 6) * Not related to malware unless AppSec specific
 * 7) Quality - Well written (Even introductory material if written interestingly)
 * 8) * In some cases quality of writing is not a concern if the material is new and novel
 * 9) Primary Source - When possible link to the original story, not someone rehashing or relinking
 * 10) Broad Impact - Avoid items that apply to a very specific technology and situation (e.g. implementing validation with Spring annotations) – unless there’s a broader reason.
 * 11) '''Not an exploit / 0-day News Stream for particular sites / companies
 * 12) * No exploits of specific apps / site
 * 13) * Broad reaching weaknesses in frameworks, libraries, etc are ok to inlcude

=Technology= OWASP uses feedblitz to build the RSS stream which splices together multiple inbound RSS streams from vetted curators
