Glad it seems helpful. The other piece I was trying to think of yesterday when I wrote this, but got distracted (oh, look, shiny!) was a simple way for students to submit their feed URLs that either added them directly to a Google Reader folder, or more likely, to an OPML file that could easily be imported to create a folder. At that point you have a pretty simply self-serve eduglu-type workflow. Such a thing would be trivial to build as a script, but I’m sure someone’s done it – any ideas? (Less trivial would be the “Add to Google Reader folder script, but I stumbled across the “unofficial google reader api” the other day, so maybe not impossible…)

Thanks Scott, while you’re right there are several ways to accomplish this, I can better imagine explaining this to teachers as a way to collect student blog posts.

Thanks Scott, great feature to learn about. I like the functionality of the bundle clip too; makes for a useful WordPress widget!
