OPML Sampler: popular posts within an OPML
CrunchNotes points us to a post by J Wynia which describes how to extract the most popular posts from an OPML. Here is a sample from the Web 2.0 Workgroup’s OPML.
As you can see the sample has the most popular posts within the OPML file sorted by feed, it would also be good to see a river of news version of this (not sorted by feed).
You have to be technically minded to make your own, way over my head, but I’d like to see a service like this take off.
It really is a great idea, as an OPML file can be a topic blogosphere of it’s own, being able to organise the posts from an OPML file by popularity, is like making your own Technorati…what’s hot within an OPML file…good stuff!
Well, it’s not really as fast as Technorati as it’s based on the Yahoo! API, but if it was based on some type of real live web, it could be your own version of Technorati on your favourite part of the blogosphere or better put, view the most linked to posts from a selection of your favourite blogs.
[ADDED: of course I forgot to add that an RSS feed for an OPML Sampler page would not show you the latest posts from each feed, but the most popular posts…see more from Alex]
