He has a file folder structure to his categories. The numbers indicate how many feeds are in a folder. It has an aggregator component that sucks feeds into categories if someone&#8217;s blog uses RSS feeds. His software is figuring out correlations between other people&#8217;s categories and his categories, so it routes them appropriately. For example, the category RSS Feeds on <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/jkbaumga\/\">j&#8217;s scratchpad<\/a> correlates to Shimon&#8217;s Blogging category.\n<li>Shimon says that not anyone, not even Jay McCarthy, is going to be able to categorize the entire Internet, so we may as well coordinate efforts.\n<li>3 ways it does categories: RSS feed category; Dublin Core; and e ???\n<li>GE: Import OPML?\n<ul>\n<li>not yet but it&#8217;s on the list &#8212; SR&#8217;s focusing on linking categories now.\n<\/ul>\n<li>SR admits there&#8217;s a bad interface for subscriptions, which he will improve at some point\n<li>MF: asked about searching for feeds based on categories\n<ul>\n<li><A HREf=\"http:\/\/grumet.net\/syo\/findThatFeed\">http:\/\/grumet.net\/syo\/findThatFeed<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>we searched &#8220;funk&#8221; and &#8220;Boston&#8221;\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Dave asks Jack what we should do with the meetings\n<ul>\n<li>talk about aggregators\n<li>involve people tuned in through the IRC channel &amp; the Webcast more\n<\/ul>\n<li>Takeaways on the weblogs and presidential politics<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<li>Dave wants to do a quick conference on Sunday about the politics stuff post New Hampshire\n<ul>\n<li>MF: protests the date because of Super Bowl Sunday\n<li>JB: already said she couldn&#8217;t be there because of the previously planned outing to Grasshopper\n<li>Dave asks JiM, who just walked in, what&#8217;s happening\n<ul>\n<li>JiM does Web stuff for Dean (still)\n<li>JiM says it&#8217;s like being a submarine where lots of people are doing computer stuff\n<li>spin\n<li>there&#8217;s a big discussion about the Dean campaign and the Internet and stuff\n<\/ul>\n<li>After a much longer discussion about the campaign, someone finally got back to the<br \/>\nquestion about whether to have the conference on Sunday.
