Back in June, just before the OPML editor was released, I reacted to Michael Specht's ideas about using OPML in education. I still think an LMS might be OPML-based. I no longer bristle at the thought of arranging things hierarchically. I've subscribed to a couple of reading lists that are way way too big -- either too many feeds, or feeds having such a large number of posts that the effect in my aggregator is to make me sigh and want them out of there. It's going to give people a bad impression of reading lists if they try the concept and end up feeling inundated. I think list makers might want to show that they've done a lot of work to put their lists together so they go for volume. Maybe they'd be wiser to put their brainpower into making the most judicious choices, or in drawing up groups of lists with 4-6 feeds each. Have you checked out Cristian Conti's header graphic? What would you name it? "Still Life in Browns and Violet with OPML Mug?" |
