I mentioned the problem I'm currently trying to solve only briefly and not completely last night. Basically I have two copies of newsfire and I want to "sync" the blogs they are watching. But I also don't want to just have my RSS feed "bookmarks" in them and them alone as I've moved my lions share of html bookmarks up to del.icio.us recently from my browsers. So I needed (wanted) a way to be able to load newsfire from del.icio.us - hopefully this still makes sense.

So I decided to start tagging the html page of any blog I was interested in reading on an ongoing basis in del.icio.us as newsfireset. Anyway last night I started a script that I finished off today. Basically  it takes all the entries tagged with a given tag and checks if they are or have RSS feeds using Benjamin Trott's very handy Feed::Find . If they do then I put them in an OPML file which can be imported into Newsfire (although it would be even nicer if Newsfire could import a OPML data from a URL).

Anyway you can find the script here. I guess you could also decide that someday you were interested in say reading ruby blogs and hence look for all del.icio.us tags tagged with ruby and import them via OPML.
