rss + river of news + opml = LiveJournal?
If we mentioned a hosted web service that’s been around since 1999, offering powerful blogging, RSS publishing, RSS aggregation, a river-of-news style view of posts, and the ability to export any of your feed lists as OPML, you’d probably think “Didn’t Dave Winer make that?” Well, he probably did, but we’d also be describing LiveJournal. One thing we’ve found in visiting the O’Reilly Open Source Convention last week is that lots of people still don’t know about the pretty cool technologies that power the 10 million-strong LiveJournal community.
We’ll be publishing some detailed geek explanations of LiveJournal’s technology soon, including such mellifluously named staples as Memcached, MogileFS, Perlbal, and Djabberd. But if you haven’t given LiveJournal a second look in a while (or in half a decade), it might be worth revisiting. This is especially true now that cool new features like LJ Talk, our Jabber-compatible instant messaging integration, are launching soon. And if you happen to connect to some pretty cool communities as a result of playing with the technology, well, that’s okay too.

If I mentioned an RSS reader with:
River of News + AttentionStream prioritization + Importing OPML + Exporting custom OPML + One click publishing to LiveJournal and TypePad + Toolbars that identify and preview and subscribe to web feeds with one click from FireFox and IE + tagging that syncs with Del.icio.us, you'd probably think about Attensa for Outlook and you'd be right.

I have always loved live journal and with stuff like LJ Talk and the Jabber-compatible instant messaging integration coming out soon it only makes me love it that much more. Keep on rocking six apart staffers !
