Del.icio.us OPML

28 March 2006 No Comment

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could access an OPML of your del.icio.us tags? This would let you navigate del.icio.us feeds not as lists of links, but as tag defined outlines. Danny Ayers has already created a neat mashup, using a del.icio.us to OPML xsl, and the W3C XSLT parser to create del.icio.us reading lists. But this only hints at the flexibility which would come from OPML navigation of del.icio.us user tag clouds.

Update: Dan at Yabfog has done this at a local level, which proves its practicability, all that remains is for del.icio.us or a third party to provide this functionality as a live service.

More: EirePreneur points out another method, making a static del.icio.us dump through OPML Utils. Right now it just creates an flat li.st of links, but a new version due soon intends to outline by tag.
