The blogosphere as we know it may have just been blown wide open. Dave Winer released his OPML Editor yesterday. Adam Curry says “it’s fantastic… takes you like 3 seconds to kinda reset your brain and try and figure it out”. Well, I’ve been playing with it for a lot more than three seconds, and I haven’t figured it out yet… but it could be big. It reminds me of the first time someone told me about this new app called Mosaic, and how it “browsed” something called the “World Wide Web”. I couldn’t wrap my head around the concept. At the same time, it has a “why didn’t I think of that?” feel to it.

It’s basically a free (beta) authoring tool for any kind of information that can be expressed in outline form. Like blogging. Or podcasting. Or RSS. It’s all online, so you can collaborate with others by subscribing to their outlines. Anyway. Here’s my outline and here’s my blog. Somebody subscribe to it so I can see what happens.

Don’t be put off by the geekety name, homebrew-style interface, or the myriad of cryptic menu items. Dave’s been working on this thing forever and a lot of big names have been playing with it. Try it out, and come up with something completely different.
