Grazing Technorati Search

Filed under: General, rss, opml

Raj Kumar Dash has posted on the possibility for a Grazing List Technorati mashup, although he doesn’t seem to use the term Grazing Lists.

He posts that it would be a great idea to collect all the blog feeds from each item in a Technorati search, and create an OPML Grazing List to do a bit of feed shopping.

It seems people are starting to think about this concept as I posted a while back about Adam Green’s efforts in culling feed URL’s from the latest at tech.memeorandum into a Grazing List.

Raj’s example could be similar, as a live OPML, the feeds in the Grazing List would change reflecting the differences in the result set if you did the same search in Technorati every hour.

Maybe Technorati will adopt this soon, for every search they could offer a feed shopping or feed grazing OPML…maybe even an OPML for the actual search results (eg. gada.be, OPML search, and some meta-tools)…this could also apply to Technorati Tags.

A step further after collecting source feeds from items in a search result and wrapping them in an OPML-to-graze, is to enhance this Grazing List by annotating it, almost like descriptive metadata about the source feed…and Adam Green once again pushed the envelope to Annotated Grazing Lists.
