Distributed directories is a big one, among others. This is a dated -- and draft -- help page about directories http://hosting.opml.org/amyloo/osite/help/howtos/distdir.htmBTW, you're a TMBG fan, aren't you? Interesting offer on their last podcast (27a). I couldn't be sure, it was a little cryptic, but I think they're offering free rights to "I Should Be Allowed to Think," to a talk show. The digital host voice praises Allen Ginsberg for letting them use the opening lines without any sort of monetary or other consideration, kind of sighs all idealistically about the sentiment, then says she'd like to see the song used on an "American style TV chat show." See if you think so. 2 or 3 or 4 songs in. http://www.tmbg.com/_media/_pod/podcast.xml Chris, you asked for comments on uses of OPML other than for holding a group of feeds and porting it around?

You asked about other interesting uses of OPML and I think one of the best I've seen comes from Marjolein Hoekstra who built a marketing search engine called the Power 150 -http://www.cleverclogs.org/2007/02/rssenabled_mark.htmlAdmittedly she used some Grazr specific functionality but the ingenious mashup powerfully demonstrates the remarkable versatility of OPML, RSS and 'small pieces, loosely joined'.

Admittedly she used some Grazr specific functionality but the ingenious mashup powerfully demonstrates the remarkable versatility of OPML, RSS and ’small pieces, loosely joined’.

The amazing power of OPML comes when you use 'inclusion' which enables a folder within a folder within a folder... etc.Podcast.com will be going in to beta soon so people can start creating directories which produce OPML which can then be easily used to create 'Directory Feed Players' and widgets to navigate the directory and read the rss feeds and find great content.The feed mantra goes like this:OPML is the TREE RSS is the VINES on that tree the CONTENT is the FRUIT.Tags and other metadata are the LEAVES and on the tree.Very Zen ;) OPML RULES!!
