Following the blatant self-plagiarism of Social Bookmarking and Infoskills Development, here's more, this time retrieved from a comment to another of Alan's posts, "Introducing students to RSS".
This time, the list enumerates several different sorts of RSS feed might be usefully consumed with an education focused feed reader, aggregator, or startpage/web desktop.
Each feed type below has its own particular properties that distinguishes it from the other feed types, for example on grounds of formality (personally generated content or formally published content), publishing frequency/regularity (live, daily, weekly, monthly, randomly), payload (e.g. audio payload or geoRSS encodings), originating source/creator (individual, institutional representative, automated process), user intent (what are you subscribing to the feed for - current awareness, job/funding search, leisure)
