You can use a yahoo pipe to make one rss-feed from a opml-file: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipe...

Thanks for blogging Dave (got here via http://twiterlist2rss.appsp... FWIW)

Once you've uploaded the OPML, you're locked into that version of the list, right? So any flux in the list won't be reflected in a the RSS client?

Reason I ask is that lists grow and change over time - so this would be a great way of scooping up a bunch of people to read but wouldn't represent the changing content of a list.

Great solution Dave. I have continued to use Google Reader and Twitter in parallel but now I can start to move key twitters into reader so I don't miss them.

If only you had a way of being notified of realtime rss feed changes... ;)

It definitely sounds like this is a great first step for a Twitter list-mashup tool. Have you taken a look at Tweepml? Before Twitter Lists happened, their "OPML inspired" service showed lots of potential, but only two applications supported it. Their specifications page even provided information to help convert their lists into OPML.

cool, for google reader just saved the opml file and imported it.

can you go the other way? then twitter becomes the feed reader and that cute little tweetdeck popup will keep me informed of everything w/o lifting a finger. more river of news-ish too than a clogged up reader.

Nicely done! I can't wait to see how smoothly this ends up including other pieces of a distributed 140 character system... and more! Then the fun really happens. :)

This is great! I follow a lot of people who spew out tons of great information, which is a blessing and a curse: I don't want to miss what they are sharing, but at the same time my less verbose friends kinda get washed downstream.

Now I can just follow the info spammers in Reader, really easily. Neat, thanks.
