Customise your Zimbio OPML
I knew Zimbio added a nested OPML URL for each topic (Zimbio’s), but I didn’t know you could customise them.
On top of this you can even sort the items in each node…now that’s customisation.
This is spot on, I’ve always wanted to customise OPML, Zimbio is basically allowing you to include or not include certain modules in the OPML eg. Shared Feeds, group blog, links, etc…
NOTE: Each topic in Zimbio has a default OPML, when you customise your own it generates another OPML URL.
This is similar to picking and choosing folders of feeds or single feeds from your RSS Reader in order to make an OPML. I’m always sending people a batch of feeds (a selection from my RSS Reader), I even go to the trouble of packaging them in OPML using a 3rd party.
Most RSS Readers have a general OPML, some even have them for each folder, but wouldn’t it be good if you could select a folder/s or a selction of feeds from your RSS Reader and generate an OPML, how quick would that be.
Bloglines has a tell-a-friend feature, where you can send a friend an email about joining up with Bloglines, within this email you can even select some feeds from your account, so when they join up their account is pre-populated with some feeds…great idea.
I’m alluding to the idea that wouldn’t it be good if you could select some feeds from your account and generate an OPML, just like that.
