Here are a couple of interesting and basic links that list and/or rate aggregators.

This is interesting from this week's entry: "Some organizations are using this to let people know about changes to documents or procedures, etc."
This would be a great boon to training and to the workers here at LANL if we could use something like this to guarantee that everyone gets copied on procedural updates. Right now, we're working with a great doc control coordinator, but he's still human. If the employee could register/sign up for a feed, the responsibility would fall on the worker to ensure that they check the feed. I believe it would create less work for all parties involved. More to come...

Hi Chewie...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. I'll have to try one of the others and see how it compares with Google Reader which is what I'm using currently.
Hi Chewie --
ReplyDeleteWhich aggregators are you using? Which do you recommend? Why? How would you implement this inside a place like Lost Almost?

Wellll...I would say that RSS feeds, though they may not be entirely useful for the quick courses currently in use at LANL, they would be useful for procedure updates, labwide announcements, etc. It would also be useful, perhaps, in my final project, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to incorporate those too. I'd like to see continuing learning come in, and that's where stuff like feeds come into play.
ReplyDeleteWithout any continuation, what's the point of a feed?
