RSS Labs: "Welcome to OPML Workstation. This is a preliminary version of our PowerPoint® to OPML site." OPML is a tool to free your data from proprietary apps -- first RSS subscriptions, now PowerPoint presentations. I just want to say this about the OPML Workstation PowerPoint to OPML: Woot! I think Amyloo has invented the first videoblog game show. Ben Barren on the new RSS reader in GMail: " there isnt an obvious way to import OPML (thats no surprise, its google) but what surprised me, is I have a Google Feed Reader account, attached to Google/Gmail account and the web-clips dont seem to come from there. They come from wired.com etc. Pointcast push crap anyone ?" If there isn't an obvious way to import OPML, that means that there's probably NO way to export OPML. That means only one thing: the app's a roach motel. Your data gets in, but it never gets out again. You build up a list of subscriptions, but from that point on, that list is theirs, not yours. Possession is nine tenths of the law -- if you can't take it with you, it's not yours. Nomadic Coder: "I find it funny that I prefer OPML over Ecto, OPML is not as flashy, but I like the feel..." Right on. It's about reducing friction between you and your blog. House of Warwick: Dave Winer has written a nifty tool for users of his OPML Editor software to help them write for a WordPress weblog. Since his editor is based on Frontier and Radio is too, there was a good chance it work for Radio users...It does." Robin Good interviews Pito Salas on his implementation of OPML based Reading Lists in BlogBridge, an RSS aggregator. Fran: "RE: The OPML community. *Give a man a fish, and you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime.* Dave Winer is a fishing instructor not a fish distributor." PS. Fran, how about sharing that rugelach recipe? Hm? Hey, wouldn't OPML be great for collections of recipes? Hil's thinking about an OPML guide to resources on Puppetry. Cool. A lot of the things mentioned are about the display of the resulting OPML document. When we make an HTML document we don't think as much about display because, well, the browser does it for us. Just to note, HTML came before web browsers. What is OPML coming before? We're throwing a tennis ball out into the dark, and seeing what it bounces off of. Kellie Miller is offering to become a message post for proposals for OPML based projects, a way for OPML nerds to flock together. Cool. |
