Delicious2Opml Converter with optional deliSearch Tool
Checking my weekly TechCrunch stats (a couple more people blogging with links into OUseful.Info and I should break 400 subscribers on a 7-day average ;-) I came across a report of someone clicking through to a delicious2opml converter that I'd written some time ago, and completely forgotten about!
With Grazr now hosting OPML files (that you have to upload as a file from your desktop) the cut, paste and save as OPML route followed by the delicious2OPML utility maybe useful at last :-)
At least - it may be useful now in revised form.
Firstly, I've added a couple of heuristics that will try to identify RSS and OPML feeds that have been bookmarked to delicious, and add them to the generated OPML file using an appropriate outline type.
Secondly, I've added the option to add a GrazrScript deliSearch form to the generated OPML. This form provides an interface to a deliSearch pipe on Yahoo that will search over the domains listed in the feed generated from the supplied delicious username/tag combination.
Here's the new version: Revised delicious2OPML generator (with optional deliSearch).
You can see an example here:
(To see how the generated OPML adds value over simply piping a delicious RSS feed into Grazr (aside from the deliSearch feature), compare the above with this example.)
