The Always-On Carnival and Podcast

Well, I know where I am sending my favorite blog posts, websites, or cool resources from now on. I hope you will join me! At unbridledlearning.com I am starting to add things that I enjoy reading or doing, or just think are interesting (and relevant to unbridled learning) to the site. When I add something, it automatically has my vote. Others can come along and vote for the same item and can add comments pro and con. I can "tag" the items that I submit to keep them categorized and easy to find.

At the moment, items that I submitted are on the front page and published. As time goes by and others add their own links to their own favorites, items with more votes will make it to the front page. Those who join in will create the flavor of the site. Members can be "friends" with other members; if you know someone has similar taste to you, you can just look at the articles that they enjoyed or submitted.

Create an account. You will end up on your profile page. At the bottom of the page you will see a "bookmarklet" that you can add to your favorites or drag to the toolbar of your browser. Now whenever you come across something that would interest other unbridled learners, you can just click that link and it will start the submission process for you! You will just need to enter a few pieces of information and the article will be submitted!

Although I find myself vastly interesting <g> I am hoping that this will be a useful index not just of what I like but of what lots of other vastly interesting people like too!

There doesn't have to be a link to post something.  Maybe you wrote something on a Yahoo or Google group, email or listserv that you would like to publish elsewhere.  You can post those types of things to Unbridled Learning as well.  If you want to post something someone else wrote in a private group or email, be sure to get their permission first!

I am toying with the idea of re-birthing the short-lived Unbridled Learning podcast which would contain the most popular stories of the week/couple weeks/whatever.  You know, kind of like DiggNation.
