News OPML Generator

Filed under: rss, readers, opml

The OPML Feed Roller is just getting better, now you can make search feeds from various news engines at the same time.

Actually this is a separate service, it is the Persistent News Search OPML Feedroll Generator, the earlier service is the Social Bookmarking RSS Feeds - OPML Generator

…maybe both these services could be merged into one.

I just noticed if you make several profiles, that is, numerous OPML’s, you can also roll (merge) to make a longer OPML…but you only get the code for this you don’t get a new URL.
When you do this maybe it it could make a mother OPML URL, where all the individual OPML’s are “inclusions”.
Same goes with the bookmark roller.

gada.be offers meta-searching…enter a search term, select a field (eg. blogs, social, news), and it will display the latest posts from each engine, and an RSS feed for each engine (but not a spliced feed). Then click on OPML, and you will get an OPML URL, pretty nifty, especially that it also displays search results.

Gee, TalkDigger could offer OPML for a search, only difference is that the engines are mixed (blogs, web, etc…)
…but, you can do link searches, imagine getting an ego link search OPML.

I have a TalkDigger link search for every blog post, look for this icon …clicking on this will take you to TalkDigger, but imagine that it could all be displayed in your blog via a OPML grazr…see more.

Kebberfegg is similar to the OPML Feed Rollers, like gada.be it does meta-searching, only the OPML isn’t unique.

MonitorThis also does the same thing…I even like that you can open it in an OPML Browser…it generates an OPML code in order to save as a file of you can click “open file in web browser” for the OPML URL.

In the future perhaps we can login to see our saved OPML Feed Rolls, even tag them if we have load of them.

  1. I just wanted to let you know that I got a big, fullscreen animated ad when I clicked on this item in your Feedburner feed. It took me awhile to find a “close this ad” button. I think it’s fine if people want to advertise in their feeds but I thought I’d let you know in case FeedBurner was slipping stuff in there without your knowledge.
