EduRSS 0.2 Is Back

Edu-RSS is in operation once again, harvesting blogs and sending out pages and RSS feeds. Here is a list of the feeds harvested by Edu-RSS. I am now producing several output pages (and corresponding RSS feeds):
One thing to note. Edu_RSS, when it harvests, collects all the links cited in given posts. This will be used to track conversations and to rank pages. So far so good - but many feeds (especially WordPress feeds) only distribute short summaries of about 300 characters (Edu_RSS itself only retains 1000 characters, but only after analyzing the full content). I do not retrieve the original web page. So if you are distributing only a summary in your web page, the sites you link to are not being recorded. Just so you know.
On this site, Edu_RSS runs several different lists:
- Edu_RSS Edubloggers
- Edu_RSS News---Ed
- Edu_RSS Media
- Edu_RSS Design
- Edu_RSS Cyberculture
- Edu_RSS Ideas
