OpenSearch
Mar 17, 2005
I had a quick look at this because George Siemens linked to it - A9 has been all the rage for the last few weeks in the blogosphere - and I want to take a deeper look because of what I saw. Forget the article for a second - check out this search first, and note especially the buttons to the right. Try some. Now that's pretty nifty - but now check here nd look at all the other possible search sources. Now Edu_RSS could be added to this list with a one-line change, which I'll do tomorrow. And that's when I'll be reading about OpenSearch to get just the right syntax for this deliciously open - and exceptionally useful - specification. And I wonder how hard it would be to build a desktop version... the portable learning environment moves one step closer, doesn't it?
