A great solution, Andrew, and another problem solved. Hopefully the long term solution won’t actually be too long. A job well done today!

Grazr looks good, but I agree that it doesn’t make particularly good use of available screen space. Is it fairly easy to set up and use?

However, I was more impressed with your mentor website. I liked the way the Os turned into Glow Os. Very brilliant. And the wee interactive map is well cool. All your own work?

Andrew is http://www.xfruits.com/ what you are after?

Thanks David – Grazr is dead easy to set up. It can either be a hyperlink, an image or the window you saw – the window is scalable, and comes in different forms. I think I prefer this concept to a blogroll that people have on their sites?

The main drawback of grazr is you cannot see which feed have been updated recently so you need to click on each link. A desktop aggregator is more efficient. I like lilina example because it sorts by date, but it seems a little slow on my box. In development though.

You are a glowing example! I spoke to Anne, the glow content editor, about linking to this from the Glow website – and anyother authorities that are doing similar things.

Steve – thanks for the link! Looks good, but I’ll need to think more about what we are trying to achieve.

John – its very limitation is perhaps its strength? I really like the idea of placing feeds on a page that mean you don’t have to subscribe and live with the consequences of an ‘over-full’ feed reader. In the fullness of time, we could have 600+ Mentors blogging – I for one don’t want to subscribe to all of them, but perhaps I might want to check out what each of them is saying in one convenient location? If I like what I read, then I could subscribe? I do like what you are doing with lilina though.

Nova – there are quite a few LAs that already have something up and running for their Mentors – I’d speak to the RM educationalists or the key contacts in the LAs to get a complete picture.

Hi Andrew,
I, like you, like an online aggregator that could be visited occasionally rather than adding to my daily feeds.
but I’d like it to show me the ones that have been updated recently. If you had 600 feeds in grazr and only 10 had been updated you would need to click a lot before you saw the new stuff.
I do an occasional what is happening in the blogosphere post on the masterclass forums, if we get 600 scots educators blogging I’d want someone to act as a interest filter.
