bookmarks = lightweight blogging?Hm. Here's something that came to mind today while setting up some bookmarks in the Ning bookmarks app. I was thinking, wow, that looks kindof like an outline... a bloggish outline... a blog? I remembered this stuff I wrote a while back about a tool's influence. What's missing there is RSS and OPML feeds for each of the views. Won't be hard to add. Update: And done! All pages now have an RSS subscription icon that you can use to subscribe to any bookmark listing. Example. Took about 20 min to write and test. :) Bonus: one of my favorite posts of all time. Especially Woody Allen comes to mind: "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet."

Cool. So are the OPML feeds on the way? How about using a tag weighting algorithm to create multiple self-organizing hierarchies? How do I mean? Well, when I do a search by URL on another social bookmarking service it tells me the common tags and how often each has been used. For example my own blog has these common tags and corresponding weights - - 8 business So, working from the most general tag backwards you could insert my blog in this OPML hierarchy - Entrepreneur > Startup > Blogs > Irish > Blog > Business Or in this one - Techhnology > Blogs > Irish > Business I could then use a Feed Grazer like Dan MacTough's "Optimal" to graze these hierarchies. Posted by: James Corbett at March 1, 2006 3:12 AMGood ideas! I'll add basic OPML support at some point today (I'm sure I can find another free 20 min *somewhere* :-)). We are not associating weight with tags yet, but that can be added on the app's end. I'll post an update when I've added that. Posted by: diego at March 1, 2006 5:58 AMPost a comment
