Quel agrégateur de nouvelles ?.

Pour ceux-celles qui n'ont pas encore fait le pas vers un logiciel de carnet Web (Radio) incluant son propre agrégateur... plusieurs solutions existent pour suivre l'évolution de fils de nouvelles RSS ou même de pages qui ne sont pas sous ce format... Une revue de quelques-uns de ces logiciels:

Recommander blogger ?

Salut Nicolas ;-) Te voilà oui dans la blogosphère et tu es perdu. Rassure-toi c'est normal ;-)
Je ne pense pas que tu puisses encore "me voir" à cette heure faute de fonction ad'hoc. Ta question dans les commentaires est très pertinente ... Installer des statistiques ? Rien à faire sur le SiteMeter tout neuf : y'a un bogue ? A l'aide.

Ooh... Ooh! Neat..

The itown global network of weblogs is up and open for business.  Very nice implementation. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

This implementation of Radio addresses a lot of wishes/wants on my list.  If we are to get folks in the University community engaged with blogs, then the implementation, which includes community building (and the road signs posted by an entity such as itown are certainly needed), back office support and some old fashioned cheer leading.

And, the Mayor of iTown leaves in Athens.  Go Dawgs! [Jim Flowers]

Start with a small traditional site....

This is what makes the job worth the effort:  From Gavin Brown, the webmaster at Villa Julie College:

"We are using it (Manila) to publish our academic departments as non-blogged, traditional websites. To that end, we have built a Manila site for each academic department, with a department faculty member as direct editor.

The revolutionary aspect of it is that we are getting our own faculty to do the publishing, directly in Manila. This may not sound like a big deal, but if you know much about colleges, then you may know that getting the faculty to use anything technology-ish is tremendously difficult. Many college websites have poor quality academic department areas due, at least in part, to lack of participation by the faculty.

Manila has enabled us to overcome this hurdle, and has gotten even our most technology-shy faculty to start getting on their websites and build real content. And because they see their own handiwork immediately, they have much more pride and investment in it."

This brings up an interesting point.  It may be that in order to get people used to the idea of weblogging, they should start with a small traditional site that they can easily edit in a browser.  Manila provides that with an Edit this Page button on every page the assigned editor has control over.  As they get used to the experience, they would likely see the benefit to adding a weblog to their site. [John Robb]

Gavin and John hit the nail on the head. Shared publication right through the browser, division of roles, separation of content production and style, ... all this holds tremendous potential for turning non-tech people into producers and designers of their own content. This goes well beyond Weblogging... something I tried to express in Why Manila is more than Weblog software,What do we really need?, and Step by step into blogland 2 ...
