Share Your OPML (it had to happen)
So, who would have thought that OPML would be a big deal? ;-)
The interest in Dave Winer's latest project, Share Your OPML, is the reason for OPML's Attention this weekend. And with good reason too. Dave hinted at this project at last week's Seattle Mind Camp where we discussed Attention. This app / service is so inline with the OPML as an Attention data file thinking.
I've shared mine here. The service doesn't offiicially launch until Monday, but there's already plenty of OPML sharing going on. Steve Rubel, Robert Scoble, Michael Arrington and JWynia are blogging (and sharing) this too, and plenty more.
Nice thing is I can see who is sub'd to me. So far on this two feeds (one gen'd by this blogware, the other is a Feedbuner feed I created in September.

Alex;
Your feedburner feed's better for who? I'm sure it's better for you, stats and all, but does it make a diff to your readers? Also, why don't you ask your blog host to redirect your http://blogs.msdn.com/alexbarn/rss.aspx traffic to your feedburner address?
The Share Your OPML relaunch looks good so far - I hope the community is vibrant enough to warrant some more additions to the functionality of the old http://feeds.scripting.com system and maybe an exposed API that we can script against? There's a lot that could be done with this data.
