Shave that Yak with a grazer blade

Two weeks ago I waved bye-bye to my blogroll and replaced it with a feed grazer (see sidebar). But it wasn't until I saw Solomon Duskis' Grazr panel that I really understood how it can work like a webring-blogroll hybrid. He included my OPML file in his top level node so you can simply pull it in for grazing directly in his grazr panel. Instead of teleporting you to another resource las a blogroll does a grazer synthesises it in place.

It struck me then that an OPML file has a similar relationship to a feed grazer as a disposable blade does to a razor. When clicking through on my node in Solomon's Grazr you are effectively replacing his grazer blade with mine. And now that I've added a "My Grazer Blades" sub-node to my top level view you can click on through to replace my blade with others. It'll be fun to do this when a large number of bloggers have published their OPML but for the moment you can enjoy the infitite loop of swapping Solomon's blade for mine ;-)

Yes, it might seem like you're shaving the Yak but at least its a fancy way to do it - "Grazr, for the best a Yak can get"
