A number of Irish bloggers are already happily exposing themselves by providing links to the various RSS/ATOM feeds in their lives. Please join the group - just comment below or email me with your list. It might not seem worth the time now but there's a new web service on the way (which I'm beta testing) that will demonstrate the incredible utility of browsable feed collections. And I promise I'm not exaggerating. More later...
In the meantime here's another great feed to add to your list - your very own Technorati Favorites feed. This is so cool it spoiled Alex Barnett's sabbatical. It makes it dead simple to build a blog collection and then share a feed digest for all posts to that collection. Here's mine.
What it effectively means is that you can act as a guide to the web in your areas of interest. It's another way for others to see the web through your eyes. Previously you could do something similar though Bloglines and other services but it was never this easy for newbies to generate feed digests.
So, if you'd care to share your Technorati Favourites feed along with your other feeds please do :)
Technorati Tags: opml
Trouble is in my view that Technorati is shit. Yes, tags, great but it is so bloody slow anytime I use it that I don't use it. I find for searching blogs I use pubsub or bloglines.

It has definitely suffered numerous problems in the past Damien but I'm finding it very reliable lately. I've a feeling they're really getting their act together now.

gotta loooove those betas eh? ;)
we plan on opening the kimono wider this or next week, depending on progress on a few features we want hooked pu before then - so people dont feel 'short-changed'
I like (obviously) the idea of reading 'lists' - but part of me thinks that the word 'lists' seems to suggest a 'flat' list of feeds/links etc.
I'm sure that delicious will provide some sort of taxonomy/shelving/organising via OPML eventually.
those tag 'clouds' are rapidly becoming 'tag fog' imho.
people neeeeed shelving ;)
why have a reading list, when could present your whole (or part of your) 'bookshelf'? - if you know what I mean.
semantic web - here we come!!!!!!!! :)
