Shared reading lists

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

After the recent release of Share Your Opml, I’ve finally shared mine. For the moment, at least, it looks like I am in the top 100 “Most Prolific Subscribers” (in other words, those with the most feeds), coming in at #93 with almost 400 feeds. I’m not sure yet if this is a good or a bad omen, although I am comfortable with the number of feeds in my feed reader, and I am nowhere close to the 8000+ mark held by the #1 spot.

Aside from the “My List is Bigger Than Your List” contest :) , the service has a number of other interesting features. The “Subscriptions Like Mine” gives a ranked list of people who have similar collections. I also like being able to look through my list and see who else is subscribed to certain feeds. For example, by clicking on the asterisk (*) I can see who else is subscribed to The Shifted Librarian blog.

I should note that I find the “River Of Links” - that is, one long list of alphabetically sorted links - format a bit hard to absorb. If you agree, you can always see my OPML file as a grouped set of links, similar to how they ar arranged in my feed reader.

It also looks like the site is running on WordPress - something that I’ve been thinking about as a way to better manage the UVM blogroll, which is badly in need of a fixer-upper.

What’s on your list?
