Over at Cogdogblog, Alan Levine points to FeedDigest, a tool for remixing RSS feeds. This is an interesting tool which allows you to mix up various feeds and create a single feed that captures all their activity. At Lewis Elementary we are running 6 active weblogs. These include our staff bulletin, the public web page, a Flickr photo gallery, a multi-author classroom notes site, book recommendations from our library, and a weblog to power our reader board. I currently subscribe to all 7 of these RSS feeds. With a tool like FeedDigest, I can mix them into one RSS feed that will give me a chronological look at the weblog activity at Lewis, all in one place...
Another interesting use for this is to use a tool such as Alan's Feed2JS tool to create a webpage that displays the feed to share the activity with folks on staff who aren't yet using an RSS reader... Which would be almost all of them... :-)
