Testing the OPML Editor

Post ImageA tool that has received considerable attention from the digerati over the last few weeks is Dave Winer’s OPML Editor. I decided I should jump on the bandwagon and give it a try, so I downloaded it tonight, and blogged my obversations as I used it:

I am not entirely sure what I’d do with another blog, but I must admit there is something oddly appealing about having a weblog that is just a document. Instead of going through the whole post editor thing, you just add a new line, which is kind of cool. It’s intuitive, and I think new users would feel very comfortable.

Essentially, editing a blog like a document is intuitive, but this tool is not!

Yeah, turns out the tool itself is incredibly difficult to use, and not very user friendly at all. I realize that it is meant more as something to kickstart the community, but still. Also, I don’t think it is a 1.0 product yet, so I would expect to see some more work done to it.
