Educational publishers embracing OPML 

Thomson and now Reed-Elsevier. Thomon's RSS blog points to a comprehensive presentation on RSS and OPML in OPML by a Reed-Elsevier employee. Comprehensive on the RSS side. Looks like the author is characterizing OPML mostly as a feed subscription list format, at least in this context.

My employer subs out an academic journal to R-E. I should ask them about it.

I must say I was skeptical about the RSS Labs ppt2OPML thingie but it's actually a good thing for PowerPoint loathers like me. You can buzz through the gist of a presentation without having to fire up the odious thing.

I wonder when/if Thomson's Delmar (elearning) division will see the benefits in OPML.

Damn, I've been so negative lately 

Let's see if I can think of something nice to say. About anything. Hmmm... nope, nothing's coming to mind.
