This morning Dave posted about using OPML for directories. This got me wondering, are blogrolls something that could be offered up in OPML? Would it make sense to do? Or would it be a kind of "why not?" type thing. (I'll probably email him and ask since I'm not sure he reads over here).
With my time off I figure it wouldn't hurt to look into stuff like this because I think it sounds kind of neat.
Updated:: Silly me. I know I should have gone and looked around online for stuff on this before posting. I found a few posts on it:
- Jake Savin: Blogrolling.com now supports OPML
- Brent Simmons: Blogrolling.com OPML files
- Loebrich Archives: Blogrolling and auto-discovery collide in my head
Needless to say there's a bit out there about it. One idea I have (that probably exists), is some kind of small web app that lets you start from an OPML blogroll list, and then lets you crawl through OPML enabled blogrolls (including links to RSS fields if possible).
