I still think that submission-based RSS Search Engines w/ Integrated Readers are the way to go. You can add, categorize, and subscribe to your favorite RSS Feeds. You can then view the latest links from multiple feeds, as well as search and bookmark RSS Feed links from X months ago.
Once I get this dedicated server situation sorted for rssbot.org, we'll see how it goes, although it's hard to compete w/ google. It's also hard to deter google-fanatics to accept an alternative, so it all may be pointless, now. =(
US needs to create an Operating System for Public Education, to allow users to educate themselves, from home.
The PEOS would be basically a client-terminal to the Public.Education.Network (PEN).
The PEN would track all students activities, including login/logout times, desktop idle time, and information access logging.
This would of coarse have to be a proprietary system based upon Open Source Technologies, to ensure the continued 'un-restricted' technological development of the system, by authorized developers, nation-wide.
pros:
> save money on gas > save money on teachers/books/etc > save money on facility upkeep/maintenance > give children the ability to access information, quizes, and automated test results, in real-time. > track user attendence/activities remotely
cons:
> lack of supervision > lack of social interaction > lack of 'realistic' justification for such initiatives
