Imagine if there were a database of feeds we all subscribed to, and we could get recommendations of new feeds to follow, based on what we already follow.That's the idea behind Share Your OPML, a service I started in 2006. The story of SYO is one of success followed by scaling issues. Now we have better technology so it should scale better.Help us get it started by:1. Export your subscription list in whatever RSS reader or podcast client you use.2. Upload it to the new SYO site. (It's simple, just sign in with Twitter and drag-drop your OPML on the gray box. Takes less than a minute.)If you have questions, post a comment here. Dave
A new service that shares feed information gleaned from OPML subscription lists. It's a reboot of a service I had in 2006 which was quite popular.
Last week I wrote about creating my following page and a related OPML file which one could put into a feed reader to subscribe to the list itself instead of importing it. I haven't heard anyone mention it (yet), but I suspect that like I, some may be disappointed that some feed readers that allow…
This plugin allows you to publish the contents of an OPML file in any WordPress post or page. Just put the URL of the file (it must be public on the internet) in between the quotes using this shortcode:
[opml url=""]
I've created a Domain Camp Twitter list of those I know are participating in Domain Camp this month. Please let me know if I've missed you. Feel free to subscribe to the list or follow those in it individually. If everyone replies with their websites/new domains, I'll compile those as well and create an OPML…
If it helps Domains 2019 attendees, I've got a Twitter list of educators, researchers, technologists, and others who are using DoOO, IndieWeb, or other related ethical edTech technologies. The list includes people who attended in 2017, many of those tweeting during 2019, as well as those regularly tweeting about DoOO and closely related topics throughout…
Some of us have thought about doing it before, but perhaps just jumping into the water and trying it out may be the best way to begin designing, testing, and building a true online IndieWeb Book Club. Ruined By Design Earlier this week I saw a notice about an upcoming local event for Mike Monteiro's…
I remember thinking over a decade ago how valuable it would be if researchers kept open notebooks (aka digital commonplace books) like the one Kimberly Hirsh outlines in her article Dissertating in the Open: Keeping a Public Research Notebook. I'd give my right arm to have a dozen people in research areas I'm interested in…
I'm curious if you use Inoreader's OPML subscription functionality at all? It's kind of like Twitter lists in a sense, but a lot more open and distributed. Much like your version piped into an LMS, it could be used used to create a planet of all of the participants in a course, but set up…
I've had a following page (aka blogroll on acid) where I list all the websites I'm following in my feed reader (along with OPML files for those who'd like to quickly follow them as well), but last night I quickly mocked up a followers page as well. It lists people who have either added me to…
The problem about social media is that it is centralized. Centralization empowers massive corporations and governments to steal our privacy and restrict our speech and autonomy.
Highlights, Quotes, Annotations, & Marginalia The social media browser plugins. Here’s the killer feature. Create at least one (could be many competing) browser plugins that enable you to (a) select feeds and then (b) display them alongside a user’s Twitter, Facebook, etc., feeds. (This could be an adaptation of Greasemonkey.) In other words, once this…
Personal sites are awesome, so this site was built so we can all discover each others. All the links are by folks that want to share their site with the world.
If you want your site to appear on here, go ahead and submit it on GitHub, or drop me an email.
I just ran across this interesting version of a directory which is being built based on a GitHub repo and deployed to https://personalsit.es/. It's built by Andy Bell who has been building his own website and is at least IndieWeb aware. I've added the example to the IndieWeb wiki page for directories. While interesting and useful,…
@manton, I'm not sure if anyone would have thought to ask or do such a thing, but does micro.blog provide users any feeds (RSS, JSON, etc.) of the sites the're subscribed to for reading in a reader that isn't necessarily micro.blog's primary interface? I ask because I'm curious about the ease of maintaining contacts if…
