Interesting piece by JD Lasica (who has a Manila Web log) via Dan Gillmor (Who switched his Web log from Manila to MT…hmm…) From a journalism teacher standpoint, and from a edublogger, RSS changes so much. The Christian Science Monitor puts it’s entire paper on RSS, and there are many more newspapers starting to follow their lead. And then, take a look at what RSS 2.0 can do. Jenny is getting a grant to dive into the implications for library use, and I just see this as a critical aspect of any classroom use down the road. On Wednesday when my new semester begins, I’m going to start aggregating all of my j students Manila Web logs instead of clicking through 25 of them. Is it weird that this excites me???
