Edu_RSS Chat

Aug 04, 2003

The third thing I would like to show you today is the Edu_RSS Chat. This is a system that takes recent posts aggregated by Edu_RSS and puts them into a synchronous online chat. Visitors to the chat room can then read the post together and discuss it online. The chat system then takes the comments and stores them back in Edu_RSS as metadata describing the original post. This metadata is revealed when you do a search on Edu_RSS. The post selection mechanism isn't working perfectly yet (it is supposed to show current posts, but is stuck back in July), but hey, this qualifies as a world first, doesn't it? So what do you think: is it a Hat Trick?
