Just a quick mention of how easy it is to subscribe to DigMo! via RSS and even email. DigMo! aims to bring you in depth Apple, Creative, and Education reviews and tutorials.
We work hard on the site to bring thorough coverage of the latest relevant applications and hardware releases and would love to have you as a subscriber.
Rather than focus on iPhone software with a specific educational purpose. I have decided to compile my top 5 applications for making life easier for the tech savy teacher. In actual fact the list is ideal for anyone managing a number of projects or large volumes of information. I predict this will be a fluid list given the pace of application development in this area.

I have been really enjoying using NetNewsWire Desktop and using it to sync between two Macs.

RSS is not a new technology but it is amazing how many people don’t know about it or use it on a regular basis. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, it allows ’subscribers’ to be automatically informed as new content is added to a particular site. Large news sites like the BBC offer dozens of different feeds and users can subscribe via their browsers, email software, Google Reader and even dedicated RSS news applications.
Today’s a big day for NewsFire. After much internal debate, David has made the decision that as of today, NewsFire is totally free. No feature restrictions, no ads, no cut-down ‘lite’ version… this is the real deal.
