First, Kosso has an <a href="http://blogs.opml.org/kosso/2005/12/29#opmlReader">OPML browser</a>, but don't be fooled, it's <a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2005/12/29/feedReader.gif">actually</a> a nice Flash-based feed reader, and a good complement to the River of News aggregator I'm working on. Then quite coincidentally, Dan MacTough just released an <a href="http://www.yabfog.com/wp/opml-renderer/">OPML renderer</a> for WordPress. It allows you to create expand-collapse blogrolls. Also very nice! We're really starting to cook some tasty meals in this department.

This is a very good idea. A few years ago I urged Martin Nisenholtz at the NY Times to offer Times-hosted blogs to people who are quoted in Times articles. It's still a good idea and still not too late. Eventually everyone who's quotable will have a blog, and then they'll be kicking themselves that they didn't get in there early. Amazon is doing the right thing. Barnes and Noble should have done it first. Postscript: Maybe Amazon <a href="http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20051229/2799/">isn't</a> actually hosting blogs.
