I am very interested in the questions Brent asks, and the answers, because I want to keep moving with feeds.scripting.com. One of the things people want is the ability to subscribe to OPML files. This a very powerful idea, and I want to go all the way with it. It's the next level after RSS. Not only do I subscribe to your feed, but I want to subscribe to a set of feeds that you choose for me. Imagine Jenny the Librarian managing a set of librarian feeds for programmers. Or Taegan Goddard keeping a set of political feeds for people who want to watch all the campaigns. This goes somewhere. And it's curious timing because this evening I turned on the code that teaches feeds.scripting.com to subscribe to OPML files. If, instead of uploading, you enter the URL of an OPML file, we'll check it periodically to see if it changed, and if it did, we'll re-load it, and use it recalc the Top 100, and to refresh your Other People's Feeds page. It's like an ant farm. Still diggin! [Scripting News]
