This blog post discusses the resurgence of personal blogs and the "small web" as an alternative to larger platforms. It promotes the use of RSS feeds and OPML (a markup language intended for organizing and annotating a collection of feeds) to share feed subscriptions across devices. Sharing one's OPML files can also serve as an alternative recommendation system based on transparent human curation rather than algorithms. It also promotes smaller digital communities. Since OPML files are XML, they can be styled with XSLT to display feed lists in a readable format on the web.
