I definitely intend to keep pushing this. In the light of day it's looking pretty promising.

What's funny is that the first bits of this were actually pointing toward making this into an RSS feed. I'll probably pick that direction back up in addition to the other changes I'm envisioning.

At the moment, the biggest bottleneck (and why I currently can't take uploads or more dynamic inputs at the moment) is the API limits actually. What I really need to do is add some serious multi-level caching. Since Yahoo only allows 5000 requests a day and lots of the other API's not even that manu, if you start running your main OPML file through (or even mine), without more caching, it'd be really easy to blow right past that.

Given the daily limitations of those API's, the first thing that needs to happen to make it more usable for more flexible purposes is to make it so it's primarily analyzing actual new content, but still re-analyzing the back catalog as well for increased link counts. In other words, while adding delicious, technorati, feedster, etc. as inputs into the weightings, making sure that the limited number of allowed requests are also used as efficiently as possible.

Of course, if this wasn't just something I whipped together while watching Stargate SG-1 reruns at 2:00 in the morning using public API's, it probably could just ignore those limitations and rely on brute force.

Oh, and Alex, if you want to send me your OPML, I'd love to use it as test data for future iterations. I prefer to have something that isn't mine to do testing (hence the test file I chose for the prototype).
