@HeNeArXn It may be because I'm still actively working on it. ;)

 

@ricmac @davewiner I've got so much stuff in my feed I've tried to dice it up; surely no one wants it all.

@kylewmahan And now he's blogging about woodwind! ;)

I'm curious if you've actually physically quit twitter? I much prefer reading your blog directly, but I'm always curious about people who've mentally/physically made the decision to leave.

 

@vboykis Thanks for making the web a better place! :)

A few days ago, in part based on something that [Richard MacManus wrote](https://richardmacmanus.com/2017/06/22/openness-rivers-indieweb/) (and which may have prompted @scripting's response), I noticed that Inoreader differentiates between importing an OPML and subscribing to an OPML.

> # Importing an OPML
> If you import an OPML file in your RSS reader, you are creating a static copy of the reading list. If the owner of the original list updates the list, this change will not be shown in your feed collection.
>
> # Subscribing to an OPML
> An OPML subscription, however, creates a live connection between the original source and your feed folder. Whenever a feed is added or deleted from the original list, the change will be reflected in your subscriptions. The notification system in Inoreader will notify you that new feeds were imported or existing feeds were removed.

Ideally, if a site had a blogroll or other mechanism by which they maintained and publicly published their own OPML list, then the user could plug that into the reader to subscribe to the list which could update dynamically. One could also subscribe to others' OPML lists (or subsets of them?) as well without needing to pay attention to them. In total, this sounds like what Ben's reader (and Known's subscription list) were doing, but by using a pre-existing standard that's broadly supported. (As an example WordPress sites with the Links module enabled publish their OPML files at example.com/wp-links-opml.php).

 

@sikkdays What a great little post. It mirrors a lot of my own thoughts about social media. If you haven't seen it yet, one of my friends Tantek started a project called "100 Days of Positive Posts" that went pretty well. You might appreciate the idea: https://twitter.com/hashtag/100dopp?f=tweets&vertical=default&src=hash

Like you, he posts on his own site and syndicates to other social media services to reach his friends.

 

Checked into In-N-Out

Double double please

I'm not 100% sure, but didn't I hear that he left out hosted Known in that data?? Which means it's even bigger?
