educational blogs and
learn about WYSIWYG applications that might be useful for my
own learning or for my teaching. My Bloglines account is
under the name, "SemioticExplorer" and my blogroll is on
this blog of mine -webtoolsforlearners.blogspot.com/

"I've got back into
using Bloglines, and find it an invaluable to keep in
touch every morning"Don Taylor
"My first
RSS aggregator was Bloglines
and
I still use it today. I like how I can create folders for
all of the ed tech blogs I read. Here are my folders:
personal, ed tech bloggers, under consideration and last
chance. When I stumble across a blog I might be interested
in I add the feed in the under consideration folder. When I
find that I enjoy the blog and read it often it moved up in
rank to the ed tech bloggers folder while some of those are
demoted to last chance before I decide to do away with the
feed."

"my trusty Feed Reader - where would I be without
it? The original and still with me after all this time,
making it a favourite still"

Comments from those who selected Bloglines as one of
their Top 10 Tools in 2007
"I use
Bloglines
to
aggregate and read
the hundreds of
different blogs and
news feeds that I go
through every day to
keep up with what is
happening in the
learning
technologies world.
I have the notifier running on
my desktop so I can
easily see when and how
many new postings
have arrived.
I find it
indispensable in my
work."
Jane Hart
"subscribe to your favorite blogs and this sits in the taskbar,
ready to notify you when a blog has been updated.
Easily categorise and manage blogs"
Wendy
Phillips
"I like it a little better than
Google Reader, but that may be because I'm just too lazy
to change"
Larry
Ferlazzo
"it just brings everything that
people are saying together very neatly"
Patrick
Dunn
"My other window
onto the web, this time for tracking blogs and news
mainly. Read a huge
volume via this"
David
Wilson
"This is the first aggregator I ever
tried and, to be honest, I've stuck with them due to
lethargy: if it ain't broke... This
is how I keep up to date
with the 40-odd feeds I
read each day. I try to
keep the number of feeds
manageable, or I find it
becomes meaningless."
Karyn
Romeis
"I use Google Reader for my learning blogs and
Bloglines for my non-learning blog. This way when I
am devoting time to see what topics my peers are
addressing I'm not lured to a non-learning blog"
Dennis Coxe
"I've been using Bloglines as my web RSS feed reader for several
years and I still like it, in spite of the dozens of
other options. It's simple and easy to view the +/-
150 feeds that I read."

"this is my preferred
feed reader, which I both promote for use with students
(especially when blogs are
involved, as learning logs, etc) and which I use for
my own CPD"
Nicole
Cargill-Kipar
"This is my feedreader of choice, so far. I regularly monitor
hundreds of blogs and this is the tool to keep me
organized. If I want to find new blogs on a topic or
theme then Technorati is the place for me"
Michael McVey

makes subscribing to and reading RSS feeds easy. I particularly like
the Notification window that tells me when Blogs
I have subscribed to have been updated"
