Surveys from Within the Aggregator: Things that Make You Go Hmmm....

Loyd's Curiosity

This is totally cool that I could receive and vote for this from within my aggregator. It gives me all sorts of ideas for our blogging + news aggregation grant project! Thanks to jenett.radio for highlighting this!

Three Cheers for Buckman!

Buckman Arts Magnet Elementary

"Looks like Tim has is getting his school set up with MT Web logs. Just seems like this is a natural application for elementary schools where younger kids get a chance to publish and parents get a chance to follow along with what's up in the classroom. Note too that XML and RSS are featured prominently on most pages, and with this handy little tool, parents could get feeds right into their Outlook In boxes. There's no doubt that the potential for increasing communication between parents and schools and teachers is huge with content syndication and Web logs. Some might argue that may not be such a great thing, but I think the more visibility we can create, the more parents will appreciate the process. Too many of the problems arise because there isn't enough opportunity for parents to stay involved on some level." [weblogged News]

First of all, great job, Tim! I wish my kids' school provided this kind of communication. Score a second point because there is a blog for the Library! Score a third point for showing me the NewsGator: (Formerly the Outlook News Aggregator).
