The one big difference that I see about my idea and stumbleupon is that the information is much more short term than what stumbleupon delivers. Also I don't want to serve sites as much as articles, recently submitted articles will be ranked higher. I am checking out blogcode.com right now.

I've been meaning to come and drop this off for a while now, Conrad: http://www.blogcode.com/ Have you seen it? It's a spin-off from a book recommendation site (storycode.com) and sounds like it operates on a similar principle to the movielobby one you mentioned. I must say, I find collaborative filtering a great idea on paper - especially if it incorporates RSS, but I've rarely been satisfied with the results. Take something like StumbleUpon, for instance - I'm probably just really picky, but I always feel that you'd need much stricter filtering than they currently allow for when it comes to rating a blog or post in order to generate accurate recommendations. But that's just me. ;) Cool idea. I’ve been meaning to come and drop this off for a while now, Conrad: http://www.blogcode.com/ Have you seen it?

How would you need the OPML structured in terms of categories etc, and how would I be able to maintain it in future? I would love to help because I think there is a need for this in my country. Give me some guidelines, and I can make it work. Hi Vinu,

I use your service already and find it very helpful, would love to be involved.

How would you need the OPML structured in terms of categories etc, and how would I be able to maintain it in future? I would love to help because I think there is a need for this in my country.

Give me some guidelines, and I can make it work.

But, isn't there a need to discipline ourselves as readers and blogger? Its a double edged sword! If you read less - you write less :D Excess of both - spirals out more noise and less signal! And thats where manual intervention i.e attention networks will be useful I think. Also coming to main purpose of how I discovered the blog - I am the product manager of www.mytoday.com and we wanted to make a 'southafrica' based 'Daily' {public RSS agrregator page on a specific topic). Was wondering if you could help me put a OPML with news, blogs and other sites with RSS feeds relevant to South Africa. You can also see that we had made a Barcamp Delhi Daily http://www.mytoday.com/bcdelhi/ Do let me know what you think about the product too. Thanks +Vinu I agree – but this basically translates as a group blog?
