I must have been in a haze when this was written -- in any event, a new version is nearing completion and I'll try to remember to drop you a line when it is ready. And you are right, the documentation on aggRSSive sucks. That's my fault, I simply have been pulled in other directions. I would be happy to talk with you about it soon. I'm also supposed to put some presentation/workshop materials together which may help. I dropped the ball on getting in touch with you a few times a few months back. Not intentional slights -- some of the misconnections were downright comical. Please accept my apologies on that. And congrats on Oscar! Here's wishing you sleep-filled nights.

At the very least, I’m intrigued to think of the possibilities of a Feedbook app that I imagine as a dynamically updated text, but with a difference. Difference? The feedbook app would not just be an RSS reader on steroids, but a magic book, an application-as-book, in which each section is a continually updated portal within certain delineated boundaries and with certain dynamic or even interactive capabilities. The professor, responding to his or her sense of class needs, could tweak the mashup throughout a class. Each year the text would grow richer, and each year it would be a little different. And it would be like an app, not like a collection of feeds. [...] [...] Maybe this is the good-angel version of the bad-angel Active Desktop.
