I am playing around with OPML share. I made the top 100 Prolific RSS subscribers within this community. (for the time being - its very dynamic). However, I am also seeing some minor bugs that makes me question the algo's on the ranking systems and Methods.
Take a look for yourselves.
Make your own thoughts. Dave any comments ??
Yes and for what its worth, its a good great service and I want to share with the here, here and here folks :)-
Update 7PMEDT : Top100 and most Prolific lists are great to watch. There's a dynamics of movement which can create a tapesty of aggreation. We need to know the total subscribers who have uploaded their opml file and then use a cut of date/time and reverse sort the whole build process, to create a liner movement of the top100 against a time scale. This will give patterns.
Seeing multiple listings for the same site is understandable as people may be subscribed to various versions of RSS and Atom feeds, as well as FeedBurner feeds. OPML lists feeds, not necessarily unique sites.
Another consideration: the title listed is the title from the feed. It's possible that a site may have multiple feeds and use the same generic title for each (not the best thing to do).

Ed, but all the hyperlinked URL is the same. So obveriously the Blog URL is parsed out from the RSS URL !!

I think it's just a RSS error.
