Weebles wooble but they don't fall down.


Building a distributed directory with OPML Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I get how OMPL can help me to construct reading lists. I get how I can use it to bundle my RSS feeds, podcast feeds, cat feed and hat feed, so that I can move from one aggregator/reader to another. I like OPML for that reason and that is the primary way I interact with it.

What I'm trying to figure out, though, is how I can use OPML to construct a distributed directory. I'm specifically interested in managing a directory of nonprofit blogs. How can OPML allow that to more easily happen -- giving sections to experts/individuals/organizations who have a vested interest in keeping one or more of the directory sections going?

Clearly, a part of what has to be solved in simply education -- a proof of concept and then explicit instructions for maintaining such a directory.

Now I just have to work out how to do it.

Live blogging tool? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

It seems like an OPML blog might be a very nice way to take notes during a conference session. The ability to move around the outline and easily rearrange gives a very nice funcitonality. Also, having multiple outline windows open so that you can have marginal notes that go into another post seems valuable for live blogging.
