Via Peter Ford via Edublog News, BlogBinders is a service that turns blogs into books. Ford discusses the potential for edublogs:
This could have great implications for education. Imagine a poetry weblog or a student's personal weblog being able to be printed on demand. Having a hard copy of all that cyber work would really reinforce the student's feeling of authorship and provide a great link between the online and printed word.
The service automatically builds the book content, just by submitting the address for your blog. Presumably they spider your site to grab the content. It is not yet available for the most popular blogging apps such as Blogger and Movable Type, but support for those is coming soon.
The book pricing page seems very similar to CafePress, which also offers book printing services (without the automated blog conversion system). I wonder if they are related, or whether BB just uses the same supplier.
Make print publishing this easy could have very interesting impacts on ellearning and many other areas. Very interesting.
Search Engine Optimization, Blog Design, Movable Type Customization, and more.
