RSS in Hypothes.is: Reality

I have been doing some informal work with Jeremy Dean and Jon Udell on their killer annotation layer, Hypothes.is.  I asked in a recent email,

I spent hours this morning checking out blog posts on Jon Udell’s personal blog as well as his writing at Hypothes.is and found that my wish was their command.  You can use some manual tricks to get RSS feeds from Hypothes.is tags, users, or URL’s.  Here is the relevant info from the post

For example, if you wanted to gather together all of the “ParticipatoryCulture” tags into one feed you would create this feed: https://hypothes.is/stream.rss?tags=participatoryculture

Here is the result in my rss aggregator, Inoreader, as a ‘bundle’:

ParticipatoryCulture bundle on Inoreader

Here is the code for the rss from all of my annotations on Hypothes.is from my own username, tellio:https://hypothes.is/stream.rss?user=tellio

Here is the result in Inoreader as a bundle:

Hypothes.is Bundle: tellio feed bundle on Inoreader

Here is the code for all of the annotations for a particular URL: https://hypothes.is/stream.rss?uri=http://hackeducation.com/2014/11/04/programmed-instruction-versus-the-programmable-web/

Here, once again, is the rss bundle in Inoreader

The Future of Education: Programmed or Programmable? bundle on Inoreader

Smashup Hypothes.is and Inoreader and get an annotation management system. One caveats.  First, you will need to do considerable manual coding of rss feeds. If you are a teacher, get students to do that themselves and send you the appropriate username in a Google Form.) 

This will be one of my strategies this semester in my university course “Writing in the Disciplines”.  I am trying to re-conceive this learning space. I want a participatory architecture that builds from the learners up with just a few initial conditions.

Group annotation will be one way to do this.  Expanding the notion of what “text” is and what “research” is and what tools are available to help us do that.  More reports from the scene, more strategy from the trail later.
