The truth of the matter is revealed...

* I am number 1, 2, and 3 on a Google search of 'Alwin'. My plans for total weblog domination continue apace. Bwahahahaha!

Some other folks might reconsider how they try to drive their Google ranking. It's not about the different RSS flavors, baby. That only causes bad email. It's all about the cooking knives...

Seb, Seb, Seb. Volker's question was why do I use Radio. That is how I phrased my response, strictly about my own use. I would not wish my own habits and preferences on others, since they would very likely bind and cause friction and discomfort. ;-)

Hmm, I have argued here just the other way round. Well, use patterns are different... but I still believe that Radio's architecture holds some major drawbacks for most educational use scenarios. Just imagine you have to support 30 students while they are trying to download, install and test a new Radio tool on their local hard drives...

One difference in our use patterns may be that I have access to a wireless network on this campus, and at my home. This makes it easier for me to use my laptop wherever I am.

I do agree that for students' blog use in a classroom setting, a centralized approach is likely to have many more benefits (at least initially, until they become comfortable with blogging), and cause less chaos and burden on whomever is left holding the tech support bag. I really suppose we should ask McGee about that, since he lived it.

Jim, what would you do differently? I'd be very interested in an expanded post-mortem of your experiences with trying to use desktop blogging tools with your students...
