Regular readers probably know from all sorts of sources the Grazr folks are now hosting OPML files. So here's a couple of blasts from the past that may be of some use if you're new to OPML and want to try out some of your own feeds.
(You may also find them useful if you're a feed junky!)
Social bookmarking feed roller: enter a list of usernames, a list of tags, select from a list of social bookmarking services and generate an online hosted OPML file that points to corresponding feeds from them all... (that is, for each service, feeds will be generated for each combination of the supplied usernames and tags): Social Bookmarking Feed Roller.
News feed roller: select one or more internet news providers (Yahoo, Google, MSN), enter a list of search terms and then generate an OPML feed that points to each news service with each search term: News Feed Roller
As well as generating links to online OPML feeds, you can use both services to construct more complex OPML files containing OPML folders that contain feeds generated for different combinations of social bookmarking system/user/tag or news service/search term combinations.
I've also got a set of < ahref="./009993.html">GrazrScript generators that will generate Grazr forms to search over various services (such as Amazon and OpenLearn) and that integrate with various Yahoo pipes.
Posted by ajh59 at March 19, 2007 09:25 AMThanks for this Tony. I fell bad I haven't commented more or given more linkage, as I am following your recent experiments along these lines avidly. I was just thinking about the need I had to revisit the whole OPML thing, in large part due to Stringle, etc...
Hopefully more substantive comments soon. But do please keep it up. Your blog is replete with quark, strangeness and charm.
FYI.. the comments field does not appear on my machine (Intel Mac running Firefox) when I go directly to an entry from my RSS reader. I got this field by going to your main page.
