In the gigantic world of blogs, there are so many important ones to keep up with, and sometimes the information they provide might not be what you want to read.

You might want to search out blogs just to read one specific topic–how on earth can you keep up?

Our friends at Google have come up with an answer, Google Blog Alerts. Its at the same address as their regular Google Alert application, and works the same way. Just choose your search term, and under the Type, choose Blog, and how often Google should check for your results. Simple as that. No more surfing aimlessly looking for blog content.

Scrapblog - this is great.

Take a look at the  tour and see what a great tool this is. It is all free and online, but with drag and drop functionality, it is easy to make a presentation with pictures, video, audio

So, a bit like Powerpoint, but way easier to use and share the content. Each presentation has its own url so others can take a look too

For those of you blogging with students, this would be a great way to make a digital story and then embed the presentation right into your blog post, rather that the Slideshare method you have to use when using Powerpoint see Slide Shows for Your Blog

I just listened to this great podcast on RSS and just realised the things I’d been missing.

It’s about 40 minutes but give all the benefits of RSS as well as a very simple explanation into its workings and setting up

direct from Ideas and thoughts (Dean Shareski) – I’d really suggest adding this subscription to your i-Tunes
