I’m monitoring one simple keyword that I’m quite attached to – my last name. This isn’t being done by any kind of software you have to install.

From Rickie Dickie, a passionate OPMLer - pointing out that grazr makes TagJag OPML much more usable on-demand:

Here's a TagJag / grazr mashup smart bookmarklet for Firefox (right-click and add this link to your Bookmarks).

Over 300 Tag Searches in One Spot

Don't expect every one of these searches to yeild results, though. The output was generated by a single OPML file and the Optimal OPML WordPress Plugin. Looking for other easy ways to display the OPML from Gada.be right now. Hell, entirely new sites could be built on top of the OPML we produce - much like RSS, it's a poor man's API.
