It’s a great resource. Who’s predictions it was that in future there will be a new profession of "information filters" whose work is to share their sources of information with peers who share the same interests? Negroponte? Paypal? May I pay you something? :-) Thank you for this. It’s a great resource.

We've talked before about the advantages of thicker clients for aggregation and while I am intrigued, Bloglines is so entrenched in my daily workflow that I still have a hard time understanding why I'd want to change. In general I think such a screencast of an 'expert' like yourself wielding their aggregator could be really useful to show instructors and other newcomers what someone effectively coping with the tsunami of information looks like, as I think this is often one of the missing pieces when we all evangelize blogs to them.

Just need to find/make the time :-) If it was easy to maintain the iPodder.org directory, I'd probably still be keeping it active. This is so cool because it just pumps out of what I'm already doing. Nothing extra. Find a new feed? Subscribe to it in the Edublogs guide, flag it with 3 or more stars, and it will automatically get added to the shared list. Very cool stuff.

The cool thing is that this type of sharing takes literally no effort in addition to what I'm already doing. It's not Yet Another Task - it's fed automatically by watching my behaviour in my feedreader, and is based at least partially on monitoring my attention stream. That's what's so cool about it (to me, anyway). No payment necessary! Teemu – you’re welcome.
