Mock up for an MA section of the CAGD website. Split into three sections news, images, text, it would work in a similar way to an RSS reader. Anything posted to your CAGD, blog, Flickr or YouTube account would appear on this page. You don't post here, it gathers group activity in one place. At the top is the memebrs of the group so you can toggle between different peoples feeds.





Posting tool that would allow you to post images, video and text to your CAGD account.
Working in a similar way "Add to my de.li.cio.us" or "Digg this" this would allow you to add and tag without navigating from your current page.

Some initial mock ups for the IM section




Edit:
OK so this is definitely going to be an RSS reader. What I'd want to do is combine the single page of Google reader, that groups a users post together which could be read at leisure, and the incoming messages of Snackr and Digsby.

The idea would be to have a stand alone Adobe AIR package that you could download to any desktop. For example download it at University, create your login then if you wanted to install it on your home computer simply install it and use your log in. It would pull in Feeds from the course website, users blogs, Flickr, YouTube etc.
The flaw with all these feed/bookmark sites is multiple logins. This app needs to allow people to add from the standard web 2.0 sites quickly and easily, this needs to be done in the first sign up. The other issue is being able to add bookmarks feeds quickly nad easily, Digg, De.licio.us do this well, so something similar to this.
Another key thing to remember is the purpose of the RSS Feed is to strip back a website and deliver the key information, but how do you do this with have a heavy image based site like the CAGD site?
CAGD site, MA section. Research area, designed for specific needs of the MA course.
How "research" would work here.
Finding similar people into the same things
A way for designers to find work
RSS feeds
Sky Sports News
Scrolling, updating
Constant updates
Work coming in


Possible RSS Feeds, signing up adding external feeds from awards competitions, design companies, sites, blogs etc
