With all the discussion of OPML directories and Easy News Topics and Topic Exchange, I thought I'd throw out a different perspective.
I think of every Wiki Word as a micro Topic or Cate Gory. And the links across nodes in a WiKi create a graph of relations among Topics, analogous to a hierarchy of topics. Which could allow some sort of [Network Flow] model to weight the match of a new node (e.g. Wiki Weblog entry) to an area of interest. This smells more evolvable than the top-down approaches. Need to hash this out a bit more on WikiWeb...
(May7'03) You could even this of this as a dirty Semantic Web, as Mark Nottingham has pointed out (with verb-related follow-up). And Sister Sites provides auto-linking across wikis when the node-names match, which is even cooler...
