I wanna blog the idea and kinda work through the process of how the design will work, but it would be cool if we all kinda just set up a server space, share the ftp info, etc. and started playing with it. I'm gonna buy ds106.us right now to make it official. I don’t know, when do we start working on it?

When you talk about aggregating feeds I almost always think of Drupal, to be honest. Feed API and Feed Aggregator does what you're talking about REALLY well. But I probably think that because I work with Drupal a lot and am in that mentality. You could def. customize the add link widget in wpress to have users categorize their own feed, which would probably cut down on having to maintain much of it. There's also my custom widget (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mycustomwidget/) that would be good for this I think. Anyways, curious to see how the open version of ds106 will look.

You would also need to maybe categorize from there, depending on how many do it. But it could be enough, you also run a twitter plugin through that blog which automatically pushes out the posts and the course hahstag. All very simple, and you have a badass course management system in for which it counts, creating and sharing---as well as owning all your own stuff.

I had 3 vaio laptops in 4 years time, they all died. Yes i'm an IDIOT ! The first one i haved repaired, new motherboard, $800, 8 months later broke again. My brother and i bought the same sony TV, first his tv broke down, six months later mine. I have a sony video camera, it's broke allready twice, lucky i have an extended 5 year warranty on that camera. Well, the only advice i can give people is DON’T BUY ANY CRAP FROM SONY !

But penfall, Microscoft office is Microsoft's responsibility not Sony's or Sony Style's, but it looks like you didn't buy it from thise guys anyway and a agent like I did, bad news that is another no no, but I think I will not buy another sony computer again, I know Panasonic should be the best!

To reiterate, I have the receipt that shows I purchased a full version of Microsoft Office and it came with the laptop, fully installed. Next time read more carefully.

You need to buy the office and install it into your laptop before the expiry of your trial run. Many of them didn't know the exact procedures and creating problems with others, you are one of them.

I did indeed pay for a full version upon buying the laptop, and still have the receipt to this day. And, by the way, have gone through another round of aggravating phone calls trying to get through to someone, or anyone at sony who cares. Thanks for reading. Well, I must correct you.
