Blogdigger in Action at UBC. [automatic knowledge concentrator node - outcome depends on the quality of the ingredients just like good cooking -- BL] More fun for Greg at Blogdigger ;-) My colleague Brian Lamb shared some nifty web resources for a class he is teaching at University of British Columbia. Remember, Rip-Mix-Burn... Specifically, he has created (rip) a Bloggdigger Group (a collection of chosen RSS feeds), that is itself turned into an RSS feed (mix), and is embedded into his web site with our Feed2JS service that allows the compilation of the mixture to be inserted into the site (burn). See it in action: http://careo.elearning.ubc.ca/weblogs/textologies/links.html Nice use of "small pieces" Once in place, he has an ever, self-updating collection of resources, and it is unique to his purpose. Sweet. And a tip of the blog hat to Greg at Blogdigger for rolling out new features. Keep 'em coming! [cogdogblog] 7:32:01 PM      Google It!.
