It was interesting to listen to Rodney Hobson on TMF podcast a few days ago :

David Kuo chats with Rodney Hobson, author of The Dividend Investor. They look at how private investors can maximise their income by investing in shares, and some of the important rules when building an dividend portfolio. A transcript of this podcast is also available.

I am currently reading the book with the intention of finishing it before the long weekend is over.
I have already come across a very useful link : http://uk.reuters.com/business/markets/dividends
