Reblog: a new trend in the world of weblogs
via <Moreover-Cyberculture News>
This article focuses on how blogs have become a major source of information for netizens and what a daunting task it can be to sift through to relevent content. RSS feeds, of course, help.
If relevant threads can be selected from RSS and posted all together on another blog, the result would be a new filtered blog with more appropriate content. The people behind the ‘reBlog’ technology plan to build such a blog.
Excerpts:
reBlog is a blog with filtered content. The developers have created a reblog tool by combining two open source technologies_the blog creation tool `MovableType’ and the PHP-based server-side news aggregation tool `Feedon Feeds’ (http://minutillo.com/steve/feedonfeeds/) discussed in this column long ago. If you have an Intranet or access to a web server with PERL/PHP/MySQL support, you can easily implement a reBlog.
The article continues with installation directions. The remainder of the article highlights E-mail alert services, Ithaki: a metasearch engine, and OnLine World News Network.
This should be interesting to follow……

Hi Anne—
Seems the RSS feed from your blog isn’t working right in my bloglines account. None of your posts have shown up in about a week. Did something happen after uploading the latest version of Manila?

You know Nancy, I think you’re right. It must have something to do with that. Does anyone know if I should change a particular setting on the server?

Yep–still happening. I just checked bloglines and your latest post didn’t show up. BTW-is JH House on spring break? If so, I’ll post Emily’s entry next Monday. If not, I’ll post it before Thursday so she can see it. I’m really busy right now grant writing and working on an online course. And, I’ll be Maid of Honor at my aunt’s wedding this Friday night. So, I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off! I won’t be able to catch my breath until next week. I hope Emily doesn’t think SuperThinker forgot about her!

Not to worry, Emily’s school is on spring break all this week so post away nextM Monday! OK, post that wedding picture in your stories blog. We’re ready for another saga. Emily doesn’t think you forgot her! She’s cool….

Nancy,
Delete my blog in your Bloglines account. Then redo it, typing this in the subscription address:
http://anne2.teachesme.com/xml/rss.xml
It should start working again!
Now I’m working on putting an icon on my blog for RSS!
