The OPML Icon Saga Continues

So it seems the ripple effects from this month’s Gnomedex are still being felt. The conference itself was covered by The Seattle Post Intelligencer, but the products that debuted at Gnomedex have been reviewed by not only the conference attendees but they have also been Digg’ed, Slashdotted, blogged about by tech community at large.

One such topic which Christopher (Tse) and I are involved closely with is the OPML icon design. Read up on the debate about the various OPML designs at Chris Pirillo's blog. In the next week, we will be helping launch a new site that will bring this discussion to the masses and perhaps build upon Dave Winer’s OPML.org campaign.

OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is fast becoming a standard for exchanging and managing lists of RSS feeds. You can "Share Your OPML" with the official OPML site at http://share.opml.org.

Being the Mozilla Firefox supporters that we are, it would only be proper for us to help support the cause by promoting an OPML extension for Firefox. OPML support for Mozilla Firefox adds OPML import/export features to the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

Stay tuned the conversation is about to heat up.
