At the geek dinner at the Cambridgeside Galleria. If you're within striking distance of Cambridge, hurry and get here now! We're in the food court. Bela Labovitch: "I just downloaded Dave's aggregator, and just had to write about it." Bela's the developer behind OPML Workstation, which posts bail for your ideas when they're in the Powerpoint Hoosegow. Shel Holtz: "I don’t know how I missed this, but thanks to Dave Winer‘s latest Morning Coffee Notes podcast, I’ve learned about and become an instant fan of Top 10 Sources." The Social Software Weblog: "OPML seems to be the Flickr of document standards these days." John Palfrey: "Five minutes ago, I had my a-ha moment on OPML." You hafta read this guy. Russell Lipton created a "Squidoo Lens" about OPML, but there's nothing in it yet. (A Lens, as far as I can tell, is a page that you can create full of static links, feeds, and some text about some subject you know something about. Think of it as a substitute for those tedious "I hear you know a lot about X can you explain it to me?" emails.) Ha! There's a spam site called XOXO Handbag. XOXO is a handbag brand (I guess) but now the spam blog is filled with scraped entries about the XOXO microformat. Funny! Get your own attention feed. Real Soon Now, don't bite the developers... Lee Wilkins on OPML tools: "My point for posting this? To make you aware of the “real” good stuff that is being developed today." Jeff has figured out some way to get his OPML file to talk to Vyde, a game that he's developing. I don't quite understand it, but when I do I'm predicting I'll like it. TDavid writes a script to take the TechCrunch OPML directory of web apps and create a reverse chronological list of them in the order Crunch's Mike Arrington reviewed them. Maybe an OPML-driven app could have an option for "sort by date?" In a way, you're taking an outline and saying, "Make this look like a blog for me, just for a minute." Tom Morris: "I don't want to see religious endorsements by government, because it's not appropriate. We all pay for government, regardless of our religious belief. It has some tasks we have given it...and it should try and do those. The rest of us can erect Christmas trees and set up nativity scenes. Right on. Whole big parts of the world are made a misery by religious conflict. One of the great things about America is that we're not one of those places. I come from a family with a long religious tradition and I actually wish I had more religious faith than I do, but I resent it when certain Americans try to gin up religious conflict (eg War on Christmas). Let's not have that here. |
