Give and get good feeds

Source: Tech Crunch

Share your OPML is the not-so-catchy name of a service just released by Dave Winer. If you use a feed aggregator to read the web (I use FeedDemon Feedburner edition), you can export your OPML list (the list of RSS feeds you read) and upload it to the site. Then you can browse through and see whose list is like yours and find other feeds that you might be interested in. If you have a blog, you can search to see who is reading it. This is a great idea and it's already getting some traction with the tech set.

I love how the Web lets people launch ideas and see where they go. Look at http://del.icio.us/, a good idea that Yahoo acquired last year. It's another great way to find good feeds. Now, Dave needs to get some marketer/usability people to make it SIMPLE so regular people can get what it is!
