Tools From OPML Camp

I discovered a handful of cool tools at OPML Camp in Cambridge on Saturday (here's Wikipedia on OPML):

Grazr – A powerful little widget that pops into your blog and allows readers to browse related feeds.
Opml Search – An OPML search engine.
iJot – A tool that allows you to create content in OPML format.

Why’s all this stuff important?

Jim Moore hit the nail on the head with this comment (I'm paraphrasing): “The web is moving from a network of pages to a network of data sources.”

Instead of browsing pages, we’re going to be organizing and selecting incoming data and content. I’m not sure anybody sees exactly how this is going to work, but it seems OPML will be part of the solution.

Thanks to Adam Green for organizing a great event. I hope there are more. I was sorry I couldn’t come back for the second day.
