Feed me! Feed me NOW!
I used to get overwhelmed by RSS feed-reading and declared bankruptcy almost every New Year. The trouble is, I’d just go and do the same again, building up my number of subscribed-to feeds to overwhelming levels: I just love being exposed to new ideas and perspectives!
Since I’ve been using Feedly, however, it provides a magazine-like front-end to Google Reader. This means I can merrily subscribe to as many feeds as I wish. It’s so much easier to manage. In fact…
I want more.
It’s a little-known fact that you can share lists of RSS feeds easily in a format called OPML. I want you to send me yours! I’ll collate them and share back the über-OPML file. I can’t wait to read what you’re reading!
Win/win.
Here’s how to do it (assuming that everyone’s using Google Reader…):
- Sign in to Google Reader
- Click on Manage Subscriptions at the bottom-left of your screen
- Click on Import/Export
- Click the link Export your subscriptions as an OPML file and save the file somewhere you’ll remember
- Go to http://dropitto.me/dajbelshaw (password = opml) and upload your OPML file

That’s scary. We’re going to need bigger brains.
It’s not information overload – it’s filter failure! Ask Clay Shirky ;-)
Just when I was getting used to Google Reader on my iPod Touch – regularly marking feeds as read when they became unmanageable – you inform me about Feedly. Thank you. I have just downloaded it from the App Store and what a difference. Much easier to review the blog and site feeds which I want to keep up with.
No problem! And I’d you’ve got an iPad may I recommend Flipboard? :-)
You password doesn’t work anymore..have you finished this project?
Oh…then maybe it did work! Good luck with it..if you received my contribution :-)
