I always dug this site- I went thru a period when I was really preoccupied with trying to find uses for and learning to work with rss / xml feeds, opml and other feed aggregation / feed generation resources, especially with regard to how such resources might be integrated into websites.
LibraryClips and its authorjohnt are an ongoing experiment in opml.
“OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is an XML format for outlines. Originally developed by Radio UserLand as a native file format for an outliner application, it has since been adopted for other uses, the most common being to exchange lists of web feeds between web feed aggregators.
The OPML specification defines an outline as a hierarchical, ordered list of arbitrary elements. The specification is fairly open which makes it suitable for many types of list data.”
There is quite a bit of actual feed interaction involved with using opml so there is quite a lot of good feed info and linkage which I have found really useful on LibraryClips in addition to literally a world of opml. Call me geeky, but it’s a lot of fun to read johnt as he experiments with what different site and mashups can and can’t do. Interesting dude. I have started following him on Twitter recently. One warning, don’t go to his site from a dial up connection or using an ancient computer, there are so many badges and widgets in the sidebar, it will take forever for your computer to load the site if it doesn’t lock it up altogether.
