Our Feed Crier product is frequently used to keep tabs on important feeds. The real-time alerts that Feed Crier provides allows anyone to subscribe to a feed and have it delivered to their IM client immediately. No waiting for your reader to update or wading through all the other items in your reader to get to the really important stuff.

Feed Crier made a big step forward today in helping you manage your news flow by adding APML support. Your attention profile is no longer locked up in Feed Crier — you can now export your attention data to be used in other products that can use APML.

Starting today Feed Crier allows you to create and export an APML file. Soon we’ll allow you to import APML from other products too, making your attention truly portable. We’ll also allow you to start filtering your feeds for items that match your attention. You can continue to get alerts for everything in a feed, but soon you’ll be able to set some of your feeds to only alert you when something comes up that’s important to you.

Where can you use APML? Support is growing — this morning Bloglines and NewsGator announced APML support across all their products.

To enable your attention profile and export your APML file, say “list” to Feed Crier and click the link to manage your account.
