We are all connected in one system, though at present we are in an unconscious state in relation to this system – as if sleeping. However, we are gradually awakening to the root causes of phenomenon such as "The Crowd Within". If we understand the system that we are each a part of, we can speed up the process of revelation. <a href="http://www.laitman.com/2008/08/the-crowd-within/" rel="nofollow"> Click here</a> for more information.

You've got me thinking. Maybe a point of departure can be found at the turn of the 20th century when adult learning became systematized. Perhaps in the influential work of a learning theorists like Edward Thorndike who held low opinions of lectures, but influential means his path was the one already taken. Or maybe, because lectures are often defended on the grounds of efficiency, what if a rival research group looking at the social aspects of job design came up with results about 180 degrees from Fredrick Taylor's scientific management? Or what about game theory as applied to education? It's only been formalized recently, but a POD could be a game-theoretic insight going back to ancient times. What do you think? Is this the stuff of a riveting story? wOOt! You’ve got me thinking. Maybe a point of departure can be found at the turn of the 20th century when adult learning became systematized.

The opportunity to stay up to date rather than visiting each web site is definitely one of the key advantages of using feeds. Let me try to tackle your questions:

  1. RSS feeds are streams of data commonly used by publishers to announce news and information. They aren’t typically used for the reverse: allowing a reader to pose a question to the author. (Not that it isn’t possible. Calendar entries and even the comments you write on this site are some common ways feeds are used for two-way sharing of information.)
  2. Excellent suggestion. Consider it done.
  3. No, not the way RSS feeds are being used here. This is because feeds are not the content, they are the channel for delivering content. The publishers of journal table of contents feeds control what appears, not me, which is why for example you still need to subscribe to a journal to read the articles. In fact, David Winer (a pioneer in the area of RSS) has pointed out that, “RSS itself is an advertising medium, if you use it correctly.”
  4. What did you have in mind?
  5. My hope is that people trying this demo will do just that: import these feeds into their own personal aggregator. This is what the publishers hope too!

Thanks for the thought-provoking comments, Ray. This demo was originally part of a workshop I facilitated on using social media tools. When I have time, I’ll put together an FAQ to explain how to add these feeds to your own reader.

I found it easy to navigate ; up to the level I actually went down to - though I\'m sure there is lots more I could do. Questions: 1. If I wrote a comment about a paper/abstract who would actually see it/where would it go. Also if I had a question is it set up to answer a question and/or forward it to the author? 2. Could you add the BBTS Journal \'Transfusion Medicine\'? it\'s also a Blackwell publication 3. Did you have to deal with Copyright issues to allow you to share the abstracts, etc.? 4. Would you be able to develop/support an interested group of individuals who could share with you/each other feedback on various papers/activities? e.g., SMEs in the field giving instant feedback. Potentially to share and maybe publish online 5. Would you permit individuals to take information from your site for their own needs, e.g. for Con-Ed, research, etc. or would permission need to be obtained? Just a few thoughts.... I really like the concept. Very compact and all together in one place. This also gives those who might have been a little hesitant to work with RSS feeds, or unsure of the process, the opportunity to become comfortable with this concept and build confidence.
