We are getting started with our OPML project today. Here are our next steps:

1. Get a bloglines account setup
2. Create folders in the blogline account for industry segments
3. Start searching in the following areas for RSS feeds
a. Food (restaurants, quick casual/quick serve)
b. Insurance
c. Banking/Financial Services
d. Woman's Sports/Woman's Basketball
e. Healthcare (drugs, equipment, Insurance, Hospitals, Government)
f. Airline Industry
4. Search feed aggregators such as feedster, technorati, feedburner and newsgator (and what ever other ones you find out there)
5. Add feeds to the blogroll on bloglines
6. Probably one of the best ways to find qualified RSS feeds is to look at the links on highly relevant blog sites. Add the RSS feeds where applicable.

Once we have a listing of RSS feeds by category we can start to look at which ones we want to keep and which ones we want to delete. After that we can create the industry OPML files to be posted on our website
