Reading list podcast

I did a podcast today with Josh Porter, Alex Barnett, and Danny Ayers. It was a lot of fun, especially because of the great mixture of accents. We discussed RSS, OPML, reading lists and feed grazing. We also explored the idea of OPML as a transition to the Semantic Web. It got pretty geeky, but I guess that was to be expected. All of the details are on Alex's blog.

Danny talks quite a bit about the benefits of RDF over OPML, and if you want to know more about this format after listening to the podcast, you should get the book he wrote with Andrew Watt. It's the best explanation available of the history of RSS related formats, and goes into great detail on programming with these formats in several common languages.
