Blogrolling on a Friday (should you be there?)

Phew... well... have now edited, organised and spruced up my bloglines subscriptions so you can now check out my bloglines blogroll and know that they're all current and checked!

I've categorized them as education focused, technology focused, miscellaneous, journals and repositories (for the moment) - as well as a couple of private ones (purely so as not to bother people with my pubsubs etc.).

The more I think about it, the more I think there is value in a blogroll which I don't want to see go (even if it is tidier) and Bloglines supplying one which automatically reflects my reading list counteracts linkrot and is a true reflection of my blogosphere... I reckon.

So, when I have moment as well as moving this to incsub.org I'm gonna redesign and use that... one question, have I missed anyone? Gimmee a shout if you should be there!

[and I'm down to a mere 127 feeds... check it out :O]

Rubbish Media

Y'know... after a few months of getting email updates (RSS for a while but stopped that for poor feed reasoning) I have come to the conclusion that pretty much every article returned by Yahoo News or Google News under the keywords 'online' and 'education' has been rubbish / useless / dull.

There's nothing critical, nothing in-depth, nothing even vaguely interesting. Which is disappointing. Is this down to the sources they use, my search terms or me being a snob? I dunno but as of today I'm whacking those on the head too.

Feedburner

Interesting... Jane points to Feedburner who have implemented their own, personal, news-ticker thingy (I guess I'm initially thinking that this could be cool for highlighting weblogs or your weblog in, say, a WebCT course without stressing about importing / rendering all your content). For example...

Looking through Feedburner produced mixed emotions though, for example do any of these features make you wince:

"Feed Image Burner - Add some color to your feed. Place a special image in your feed so that it stands out from the pack when displayed in many popular RSS news readers.

Amazon Burner - Save time when linking to Amazon.com. This service conveniently auto-inserts your Associate ID into any links to Amazon.com catalog items it finds in your feed.

Summary Burner -Keep your friends close, but your site traffic closer. Make sure feed subscribers visit your website first before following any offsite links in your content. Great if you have ads or other content you want to expose to them on the web rather than through your feed." [Feedburner]

I mean, it kinda rubs me up the wrong way that this whole thing is geared at the 'bloggers just want billions of people to read them, visit their site, stand up among the rest and make some cash' which I don't think is accurate. Or maybe that's just me?
