I have just found the blog amalgamation software at suprglu. I am using it at the moment in experimental mode just to amalgamate some of my blogs. However I wonder whether it might be a useful tool to use with students in a module. If each student had a module blog which was amalgamated using Suprglu then they would be able to see all the posts in one day all together and it might be better for the purpose than Bloglines. I suppose it depends on how quickly Suprglu updates. I am going to publish this post and then go to suprglu to see what happens.
Just tried it and have found that suprglu takes some time to refresh. It says in their blog that they do not have a huge server capacity at the moment so it will not refesh pages very quickly. At the moment it looks as if there ise not going to be an easy way of looking at module blogs in real time so I will either have to wait until the refresh situation improves or I will have to devise a methodology that uses the blog amalgamation tools over the longer term. It would still be useful to have a place where all the blogs come together even if the refresh rate is a bit slow.
