Attention Attention from Janet Johnson

by Abraham Harrison on August 6, 2007 · 0 comments

I love love; I love attention. I am an attention-seeker, especially when it comes to attention data,

“I’ve often wished I could use my ‘Janet, we have book recommendations for you here…’ information from Amazon elsewhere online. Apparently, (with thanks to the heads up from the folks over at Marketing Conversation) now I can.” Via Janet Johnson

There’s a concept now called APML which is basically a standard set of programming language that allows smart programmers to capture what you pay attention to online – beyond your RSS feeds (AKA your subscriptions) – which is captured by OPML. According to Abraham Harrison:

“It doesn’t care too much about your subscriptions… but it does care about how you interact with the blogosphere implicitly. It is a little like OPML + eHarmony.”

I love that descriptor – imagine the possibilities!
