We just hit 10,000 visitors. Thank you all. 

Are we live? "Yeah!" 

Firefox Bon Echo Alpha 2 is out. I'll download it when the wireless isn't so shaky. Reports so far is that it's really fast. 

I'm not the only person who's been scanned and tagged and felt up and fingerprinted. All that security stuff is really all about taking perfectly nice human beings and treating them like cattle. Andy C got the X-ray treatment and experienced bureaucratic incompetence at it's full extent. Of course, now that I've blogged about it, I'm going to be treated even more like a moo-moo than before. 

Interesting stuff has been happening at Grazr. 

Top of the morning to y'all. The sun is just rising in Cambridge, MA, and we're getting ready for a long and vigourous day of OPML-ing. If you want to know the order of events, I suggest you have a look here. 

OPML Camp: Day 1 

Adam Green has just started the event. Some of the ideas which are we are going to discuss include whether OPML is "just a reading list", how the World Outline serves as a parallel web, and how OPML is not just for reading lists.

Pito Salas is presenting Blogbridge, the Java-based RSS aggregator which uses OPML in a number of interesting ways. The ability to add SmartFeeds is a nice idea. It's also got a really nice publishing system built in. Pito is working on a thing called "BlogBridge Library", which sounds quite exciting too.

There's plans afoot for attention metadata, which will be interesting.

Mike from Grazr is next - he's explaining some of the things people are using Grazr for - event planning, comment browser, bookmarks, phoned-in audio comments browser, image and photo slide viewer, and much more. There are plans for switchable data views. (He also shows how meta Amyloo is. )

Jim Moore from RSS Labs is praising Dave Winer's role as gate-keeper - "He's fighting a bigger fight". Jim and Bela are demoing OPML Search and OPML Workstation. The Paste OPML function is an interesting one.

Halle Suitt from Top Ten Sources talked about the different definitions of reading lists.

We're now talking about different uses for OPML, including wiki-like functions and distributed documentation.

Next up, we're thinking about attention. Attention can be conferred through subscription, reading, deleting an article or feed, rating, tagging, clicking, time spent reading, ignoring, availability on multiple devices, "update now", how often and at what time you read from feeds, what you aren't reading. Nick Bradbury has an entry (and another) on this issue.

What a day.
