Hmmm…I wonder how many people have “taught” Bloglines. I did today, showing my students the wonders of aggregation and setting them all up with accounts. They all subscribed to the New York Times front page, and I’m going to be feeding them some feeds on a pretty regular basis. The important thing at this stage is that they get the concept. One of my students asked how he could subscribe to Yahoo Sports and I told him to search Google for Yahoo Sports RSS. Wouldn’t you know the first result led him right to the XML. “Hey, that’s pretty cool!” he says and of course I hold him up as the day’s poster child for syndication. A few other heads seem to shake in agreement. (It also led me to this cool MyRSS site that I think I may have known about but added to my class page for further reference. It’s cool that there are more and more feeds to “good” journalism sites out there.) So anyway, now that Bloglines is a part of the curriculum, can WikiTravel be far behind??? (I really have to get a life…)
