Thatedguy has his reading list up at Megite: "I’ve played around quite a bit with Megite. The thing that I like the most about Megite? Auto-Discovery. When my OPML list has been uploaded, Megite auto-discovers other blogs/posts that are related to blogs/posts withing my list. These discovered posts are then added into the related area giving me a wider scope of the conversation. This is a step above memeorandum in my opinion as it isn’t as rigid in its discovery." OxDECAFBAD: "I don’t know what I’m doing, posting to the OPML 2.0 spec review mailing list. I’ve stayed out of all spec and format discussions on general principle so far, avoiding the Atom process like the plague. Life’s too short for sausage making, I believe in general. But, maybe this OPML thing will be different." To paraphrase Mame: "Oh we need a little different/right this very minute!" OxDECAFBAD answers Donovan's question - "Why bother converting my OPML files to XOXO?" Donovan says: “gotta learn more about gettin’ my xoxo on. i’ve read your page, les but still i have no idea what xoxo is or why i’d want to convert my opml files to it.“ Good question, with a few different answers. And these are, of course, all my humble opinon and not any sort of official decree from the Gods of XOXO. First answer I have is this: Don’t convert your OPML files, because ideally a pair of XOXO-colored glasses should help get your OPML seen as XOXO, should the need ever arise. The reason you shouldn’t convert is because you’ve got an OPML editor that’s helping you be productive, and as far as I know there’s no comparable tool for XOXO. Library Clips: "My last post got me thinking, what we need our newsmastering portals, such as Blogdigger Groups and MySyndicaat, to do is use Reading Lists." Plain Text to OPML generator. Online. Browsing Reading Lists Manual. In OPML, from OPML Workstation. Bela! Call me! Dave: "I'm focused now on Outline Processor Markup Language. It's a format at the center of a bunch of different activities. RSS is very good for information that has a short life, for modeling the information flow of something like a newspaper. OPML is the basis for tools that organize information that changes infrequently." It's interesting to see that right now, a lot of the focus in OPML is about stuff that changes -- dynamic subscriptions to reading lists, etc. People have really had their minds shaped by RSS. I think soon we're going to get a really big, mindchanging demonstration of OPML as a way to build lightweight, distributed directories between participants all over the web and the globe. (Think Wikipedia on OPML, with autodiscovery). |
