OpenTaste - Technical

One of my main goals for agglodex is to enable it to export the interests that it collects from your aggregated lifefeed, so that users could allow other sites to consume their attention data in order to make better recomendations. For this reason I have been following APML closely as they devlop the spec. They have long struggled to make the format expressive enough to entice third parties to adopt it. But before the standard even had the chance to catch on another group has started a second format for representing what it claims is even more than "attention data". OpenTaste is an OpenID/OAuth inspired standard for exporting general preferences in any format. Definitely worth my consideration!
