What are your Top 10 Sources?
Top 10 sources is totally re-vamped and you can now make your own to add to the collection…I’m featured on Adam Greens List.
All you do is add your 10 favourite blogs of all time, or about a topic, etc…and it generates your own Public RSS Reader.
You can view latest posts sorted by blog (show with latest syndicated content)…this is the default, or you can view as a river of news (sort chronologically), ot just get a list of the source names (show source titles only).
RSS and OPML
Your Top 10 - Has OPML, lacks RSS
The category your Top 10 is under eg. People - Has OPML, lacks RSS
The main page - Has OPML, and has RSS
Index
My issue is that what happens if another editor wanted to create a Top 10 in a topic already there…
At the moment “beer” is a Top 10, but it may need to be made a sub-category, where you then can choose from a few Top 10’s that are about beer…not sure if this is the direction it will be heading.
Here what the FAQ says about this:
“Q: Can I create a Top10 site that has already been done if the sources are different?
A: Yes, you can create a Top 10 site on a topic already done. However, the title and URL must be unique. We already have a Top 10 Sources for Running, but there can be a site called “Running Tips” and “Running Journals” and of course, “Running2”.”
Here is my Top 10 Sources…mine are based on my Top 10 essentials…or grab the Reading List.
(It’s easy, make as many as you like…OPML import makes it all the quicker)
If you would like to graze these feeds try out Grazr or Optimal.
These blogs are important to my daily reading so I have these feeds going through Rasasa (RSS to IM or email or SMS). Everytime one of these blogs publish a post, bam! a new IM appears on my desktop…it’s in my face, there is no way I’m going to miss the boat…on some days I don’t have time to get to my RSS Reader…so this is my sure method of keeping updated.
NOTE: I used this paragraph as part of my editorial.

Some what similar tools are listed in this post (see the “Feedback” heading).
[ADDED: what about the tagging (owner only) your Top 10, this way we could find lists from topics/keywords (tags) within a category…I can see something like this needed as it starts to grow.
On second thought tags and tag clouds can look messy making it daunting to use for some (except the web heads of course), I must admit the directory method looks clean and easy to use.
But again as the list grows I wonder what the browsing experience will be like, some kind of topic search at least will be needed.]
Also what about a feed or blog search…the results will tell you which lists (Top 10’s) a feed is in.
