Furl looks very interesting. I have been doing similar things with Del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us). I have added my rss feed to my main page, and have posted a particular topic’s links to the message board of a course I am taking.
I have also wondered about the classroom applications of this, such as the students having a community of links that they have found in the course of working on a project. They could use Bloglines to subscribe to the feeds of the others in the class to help them with their own research.
I like your idea of integrating it into a school links page. I have been trying to maintain changing sets of links for several years now. Using Furl or Del.icio.us, I could easily update your links without having to log in to MT.
Thanks for the idea.
