Flickr contacts as OPML
Just recently I was really annoyed because although I am subscribed to my flickr feed “new pictures from contacts” I was missing so many pictures! So I contacted the support and as it turns out they only provide 5 pictures per contact in that feed. Now this sucks and pretty much and renders this aggregated feed useless to me. Subscribing to each and individual contact is a bit cumbersome. So I suggested to at least provide an OPML export for the contacts.
Ben from the flickr support was so kind to write a little service until this has been fixed. You put in your name and it uses the flickr API to generate an OPML file for you. Sweet!!
I was really positive surprised by the flickr support. Way to go, Ben! And don’t forget to open source your little tool :)
