When did feed reading become such a burden? I recently thought back to when RSS and syndication were brand new buzz words. When feed syndication was first introduced, supporters raved that RSS would save you time, right? Instead of navigating to 20 different websites to keep current on important news, RSS enabled important news to be syndicated directly to us.

And yes, subscribing to feeds increased my productivity - back when I only had 15 - 20 feed subscriptions. Now I have 87.

How many do you currently subscribe to? 50? 100? 200? Most people don’t have time to keep current with many more than that, right?

Some of you may already know that Open Academic first released DrupalED on April 20th. But yesterday they released an improved version (available for download through that link).

You can visit check out a live DrupalED installation to see how it’s set up. It’s podcasts, wikis, groups, FOAF functionality, bookmarks…. plus any other functionality available through the hundreds of contributed Drupal modules.

I’m very excited about this. If anyone has a DrupalED site setup that they want to showcase, please let us know in the comments. Thanks!
