Justplain

In case you’ve missed it, the opml auto-discovery bookmarklet i posted about a few days ago, has an improved succesor: a OPML Auto-discovery Extension for Firefox (download).

Read all about in cleverclogs.

Marjolein Hoekstra and James Corbett hacked together something quite interesting!

I’ve not dived into it to deeply but this is how it basically works: You can add a link-tag to the header of your page with the url of an opml-file (<link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml+opml” text=”Opmlmanager userlist” xhref=”http://www.opmlmanager.com/userlist/userlist.opml” mce_href=”http://www.opmlmanager.com/userlist/userlist.opml” / >). A visitor which uses a tool for autodiscovering, which for now is a bookmarked page that wil make a little div popup at the page your watching that will you show a link that will take you to a grazr-page that will display the opml, will directly detect the opml-file. Just like autodetecting rss.

Now all we need is a add-on for firefox, so you don’t have to go the bookmarket to discover opml-feeds, but that will show an opml-icon (is there a final design yet?) on every page containing an opml-link in the header. And of course you should be able to configure what should happen once you click that opml-icon.

What would one do without the Dutch and the Irish
