A Tale of the Tape: Videosift as told by my del.icio.us

Videosift is a digglike video site powered by the open source digg-clone pligg (we’re gonna have to play a bit more with this one!). Pretty self explanatory, but a couple of things come to mind: Web 2.0 Online Educational Film festival re-visited, extended, and ongoing; digg-like lesson plans for teachers a la Willinksy wiki -each channel potentially a different subject/discipline; more general promotional space for students’ blog posts around a campus/network etc. Below are some of the highlights from my own surfing in the wee hours.
