(via Lockergnome) A pretty interesting discussion on the effects of RSS on the reading of Web logs. True, I don’t get that personal feeling in my aggregator that I can when I actually visit a Web log site. But let’s face it…few sites have much personalization to them to begin with, and I think the ability to read so many more interesting authors via their feeds outweighs missing the personal touches. I can always click through a post in Bloglines to the Web log if I wanted to. But to me, this is more about content than design. And this is especially true from a classroom standpoint, obviously. If you are going to create Web logs for your students, I don’t know how you could not use a feed reader of some type to keep track of it. (Now if only I could get my RSS feed of comments working…anyone have the standard Manila extension for that one?)
