XList: feed of lists

We at t3h Blox0r are always supporting open standards, and today we decided to embrace Xlist as the format to share and consume lists of data.

Being involved in the development of an aggregator we can feel the urging need for a way to standardize different kinds of content like blogs, bookmarks, music, photos, video and more in order to share and consume that data.

Get the iTunes feed and you only see the title of the song.
Get flickr's feed and nothing to describe the photo as well.

Unfortunately RSS and Atom were not designed to handle data other than feeds.

Enter XList, the new way to represent data in an aggregated world.
If it can be listed, it can be XListed!

Feel free to share your insights.
We will be actively involved in the development of this format for the benefit of all.
Your contribution to the standardization of this format is greatly appreciated.

Say NO to patents!
