Rolling Up Furl and Del.icio.Us Feeds from Edubloggers. http://rollup.org/rollup/rollup.php?id=495
It seems 'de rigeur' for the cutting edge edtech blogger to have at
the very least a Furl or del.icio.us bookmark account in addition to
their blog (let's not even talk about Flickr for right now).
Some, like Alan, have taken the further step of rolling their blog and Furl feeds together
(and in Alan's case his Flickr feed as well). This makes sense as it
keeps the unique individual's perspective attached to the feed.
But not everyone has taken this step; lots of folks have separate
Furl and del.icio.us sites/feeds. I've been subscribing to one or two
of them in the past, but wanted to get all the ed tech bloggers'
bookmark feeds in one place. So off I went to Rollup.org, where I created a new RSS feed
that rolled up the Furl or del.icio.us RSS feeds from Alan, Brian Lamb,
James Farmer, Greg Ritter, George Siemens, Trey Martindale, Harold
Jarche, Will Richardson, D'Arcy Norman and myself. I would have added
more, but these were all I could find.
So the handy thing about this is that I can subscribe to one feed in
my bloglines account and see all the URLs collected by all these brainy
folks. The downside is that many of these brainy folks read the same
things as I do, and the same feeds as each other, and so there ends up
being a fair bit of duplication in the feed.
Which leads me on to the idea that another value-added that either
Furl or del.icio.us could offer (maybe they do?) is 'group feeds,' that
is, a feed for a set of Furl'ers, but one that recognizes common URLs
and groups them like the main site does.
Anyways, feel free to subscribe to the feed if you are interested. I
don't plan to take it down, though it is still an experiement for me to
see how much useful stuff comes out of it. If you want your bookmark
feed added to this feed, let me know too. - SWL [EdTechPost]
