On the edge

Now that there is a Mac version of Dave Winer's OPML Editor, I've downloaded it and started giving it a spin.

Like Todd Cochrane, I don't quite have my head around the concept yet, despite seeing Dave's demo at Gnomedex, but I get the sense that it's the beginning of something important. Being able to edit an outline collaboratively over the network using OPML, which is an established standard format, and manually working with my RSS subscription file are certainly worthwhile, but I think there's more going on than that. I just don't know what it is so far.

That's life on the technology edge: having fun, but not knowing what the hell you're doing.
