The journey project

Believe it.

Whilst following the advice of Fred Stutzman posted by Karine Joly over at collegwebeditor.com for tracking any new YouTube videos that may contain material about my institution (UWA) I found that UWA also stands for Ultimate Wrestling Alliance in the US and Australia (hence my Bloglines page was filled with YouTube videos of lady wrestlers!).

For the impatient amongst you the way to track new videos that include tags you’re interested in, the instructions are reproduced below but check out Fred or Karine’s advice for more info/original source:

• Make a list of keywords that might be used to describe these videos: your institution’s name, your president’s name, your athletics teams, etc.
• For each of the words on your list, just replace “YOUTUBETAG” by the keyword in the following address:
  www.youtube.com/rss/tag/YOUTUBETAG.rss
• Copy and paste the resulting addresses in your favorite RSS reader (I use Bloglines, and I can watch the video there)

Nothing on YouTube yet/recently about the University of Westen Australia but seeing as I’m going to start posting videos pretty soon I hope to be able to see the updates in my feeder!

Development of the project wiki really reflected the way I use any new tool -in that one minute I was prowling around thinking of how to get started and the next minute (next day?) it was up and running with embedded video, oodles of content and I was inviting new members to join.  It’s become a bit of an obsession to be honest.  WIth Bloglines keeping me well up to date on all fronts there’s no shortage of content for the wiki.  Want to see? – click away: http://uwa-osj.wikispaces.com/ (should thank Mark Pegrum here for introducing me to wikispaces.com back in the day)
