So today as I was reviewing where in the process of learning Web 2.0 I should be at, I realized that we will be turning our attention next to RSS. As I agree with Jeff VanDrimmelen that RSS is as cool as sliced bread, I have posted on RSS previously in preparations for a workshop I went through some old posts on RSS and found that some will have value for the Learning 2.0 project. One such post is my explanation of RSS post. Not that the post is any more insightful or better written than the one included on the plcmclearing2.0 blog. But it is my thoughts wrapped around quotes from other posts with links to articles that produced much thought at the time of the post.
The two things that are powerful to me because of this post are:
1. The ease of reusing ‘old’ content to capture new thoughts or share with colleagues by adding/reassigning a category to a post.
2. The value of reviewing your thoughts and amending/appending them as topics regain my attention. This is of particular import when blogging as you capture your thoughts as snap shots in time in a very public setting. By reflecting on and responding to old posts one is able to communicate new and hopefully deeper understanding over time as a tapestry of expertise instead of unrelated strands of thought.
