Reading Lists can be made via RSS Readers, RSS Re-mixers (Newsmastering), Social bookmarks services, OPML editors…that’s all I know of so far.

Create Reading Lists

RSS READERS
BlogBridge…as mentioned you can also use (subscribe) to Reading Lists in BlogBridge.
Bloglines…when you export your subscriptions it is done via an OPML URL (this makes it dynamic…other RSS Readers will export OPML only to a local file, it needs its own unique URL to be a dynamic Reading List)

SOCIAL BOOKMARKS
del.icio.us hack…more.
H2O Playlist…as long as the items are feed URL’s instead of the usual HTML links (same goes with the del.icio.us method).

RSS RE-MIXERS (Newsmastering)
Blogdigger Group (Here’s a KM group created by Jack Vinson)…you’ll notice this generates a unique OPML URL.
MySyndicaat …see more.

I’d like to see Technorati Favourites have an OPML URL (Reading List) by default…maybe soon, as Blog Finder groups have OPML’s.

I’d like to see these tools be able to not just create, but also use Reading Lists, just like BlogBridge.

OPML EDITOR’S
OPML Manager
OPML Workstation

Use Reading Lists

Many services allow the export/import of OPML files/URL’s (batch loading feeds), but not many allow you to subscribe to the OPML URL itself (instead of the feeds), so the changes in that OPML URL automagically reflect in your rendition.

SUBSCRIBE
Two examples are: RSS Readers (only Blogbridge so far…here’s the screencast), and email (only FeedBlitz so far).

VIEW
They can be viewed but the feed contents can’t be read in OPML Browsers (eg. OPML Surfer, OPML Browser), although some browsers can read the feed contents (eg. OPod, Bitty…see more).

They can also be browsed in outlines made by OPML editors (eg. OPML Manager, OPML Workstation)…actually the outline in OPML Workstation also has a link to read the feed contents via OPML search.

[ADDED 28/02/06: OPML Browser is now called Optimal…it reads RSS feed content, and also opens OPML inclusions within the same page as an outline]
