A fresh look at blogrolls.
- That's a blogroll, over there.
- Blogrolls were a common feature in early websites. A list of blogs you follow. A checklist of places to look at. Advertising our web friendships. Blogrolls were the beginning of today's social web.
- It's time to take a fresh look at the humble blogroll.
- Some of the new features:
- Real-time updates.
- List sorted by name or time.
- Expand a blog to see recent posts.
- See when each blog was updated.
- Keyboard navigation.
- This list is a set of blogs I'm using as part of the blogroll on Scripting News, specified in OPML, the standard for feed list exchange.
- When this product is ready, you will be able to supply your own list, and display it anywhere.
- And even better we can use it to bootstrap a new kind of social network! 😀

- PS: I'm only showing the 40 most recently updated feeds.
- PPS: The realtime stuff is coming from FeedLand. I've set up a special server just for blogrolls.
- PPPS: Written docs for using the blogroll.
