I don't know how everyone else interacts with the internet, but I tend to rely heavily on RSS aggregation to keep on top of things. In fact, I rarely visit pages just to see if there's new content. Starting at the IMD has thrown a little bit of a wrench in things, since I want to keep up on what people are talking about, but there isn't an RSS feed that aggregates all the blogs. So that's what I've been working on.
I started experimenting with SimplePie, a PHP library that makes working with RSS feeds pretty easy. In fact, SimplePie has some functionality built into it that does pretty much what I wanted, right out of the box. But there are some problems. For example, when I set it to aggregate all the student blogs into one big RSS feed, it couldn't handle the load. So, for the moment, I've broken it out into separate feeds for each class. First years, second years, third years, and PhDs.
Each feed should give you all the posts from the past two weeks, sorted into chronological order. In the future, I'm hoping to add in the faculty and staff blogs, include blog comments, and integrate it all into a single feed that covers everything, but I figured I'd give them a sort of beta release for now, in case anyone else finds them useful. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
