Google Reader Can Now Track Changes to Any Website - Even if it Can't Find a Feed - 0 views

  • Google just announced an interesting update to Google Reader. Google's online feed reader now allows you to track changes on any page - even those that don't feature an RSS feed. Google will create its own custom feeds for these sites and update the feed whenever it notices a change. Google Reader will display a short snippet of the page changes in the RSS feed. Until today, Google Reader would simply respond with an error message if you tried to subscribe to a site that didn't offer an RSS feed. Now, Google will simply create a new feed for the site and track updates. It's not clear how often Google plans to ping these sites, however. Thanks to this, you can easily track the latest discounts on Macys.com or updates to Zillow.com's homepage. As far as we were able to see, Google Reader creates very clean RSS feeds for these items. While Google doesn't make it obvious, you can find the newly created feed by clicking "show details" in Google Reader. Thanks to this, you can subscribe to this new feed in any feed reader and not just in Google Reader.

You have several of mine but some that I would like to add would be:1) Wordle - http://wordle.net - Effective and fun way to create word clouds, for introducing new topics and subjects, reviewing information, or just designing your world with words.2) Joggle - http://beta.joggle.com/ - Excellent tool for creating slide shows for student project presentations, for teaching multimedia lessons in class, or online presentations. You can embed movies straight onto your website. It is free and joggle hosts your movies.AND MY NUMBER ONE (For today anyway) - Jing - http://www.jingproject.com/ - Snap a picture of your screen, Record video of onscreen action, and share instantly over the web, IM, email, or embed straight onto your own website. THIS IS SO COOL! Jing is free and allows you to record screencasts, with audio, and save the files as a swf, or if you pay for the pro version, mp4 files. Jing also has automatic uploading capabilities with Screencast.com (So I guess I am recommending screencast.com too!) I am using jing to record lectures and upload to my website. This is very cool!

Wikipedia - 0 views

  •  
    This is a simple English version of Wikipedia, designed for reading about technical subjects that the reader is not an expert in. This is a great resource for students who might get bogged down in all the technical jargon of regular wikipedia articles dealing with science and so forth.
