(via Stephen Cohen) I’m loving RSS more and more, and this wiki-fied list of cool and fun things you can do with it will give you some good ideas for using it in less “traditional” ways. (Are we at the point where RSS has traditional uses, I wonder?) I love the feed that tracks up to the minute police and fire events for certain localities. Kind of like an online police radio (as long as you refresh the feed every minute or so.) You can add your own coolest, best uses, too…

UPDATE: Just noticed that American Express is starting an RSS beta. This something I would really like, the ability to see any activity on my credit card accounts via RSS.

Since I’ve been more than apt to complain when journalists do the “blogs are online journals” story, let me compliment Cynthia Kopkowski from the Palm Beach Post who put together a pretty nice article whose headline actually refers to teacher bloggers as “saavy!” Wow!

Hey…that’s two articles in a row that actually paint Weblogs as learning tools…a trend?

And I’m open to a better estimate in terms of teachers blogging. 3,000 seems low and high at the same time. My guess is more are using them in some form, but I wonder if it’s close to how many are actually blogging for themselves on a regular basis.
