My first impression was ‘holy crap what a jumble of stuff!’

I did look through some of it. This time there is a landing page, although a crazy one with no explanation of what is what. It looks like an interesting collaborative space and there seem to be great projects going on. It would, however, take some doing to trawl through it and find what you want. Then I guess RSS would be a good idea!

I’m not sure of the point of this particular page, but it does give the idea that this might be useful for a class as a class project. Create this page where there are different group projects where all participants can contribute and do so in different media – photos, text, videos. Perhaps a tad more interesting, if not confusing, than a standard group project? Also more creative and available to the whole class and afterwards the whole world as a consolidation of learning than a typical wiki? Might need a fair bit of facilitation with techno-novices as students, so might work better in a course focussing on technology, and would still need to be clear and easy to use. I could, potentially, see students setting up this page with different people responsible to different tasks in different weeks, such as the news bites – all members of group 1 have to contribute a news bite in week 1, a personal blog in week 2, a critique of an article in week 3, etc. This would all be in a consistent format but end up creating a fabulous resource.
