After playing around I decided that this didn’t work very well. The main problem is that the posts end up ordered by the date on which they were originally posted and not by the date in which you found them.

So I tried using feedmarklet. This is good but feedwordpress doesn’t like the feed.

Finally Graeme pointed out the obvious and directed me to the daily blog posting on del.icio.us. So that will be appearing here soon.

As you may be able to see I have just installed feedwordpress. It allows you to

  • Read your favorite RSS feeds in Google Reader. (just like you might do now)
  • If you find something of interest you mark it as stared or shared
  • Google makes your stared items into another RSS feed
  • Another blog would pick that article up and automatically make it in to a blog article that you could then go and edit or comment on.

I want to use this as the basis for a collaborative discussion board at work. I am using my blog as a demo for the people at work to see how it might work.

There are a couple of improvements to make.

  1. A missing space in the resulting title of the blog article
  2. A link at the end of the blog article back to the original
