Thanks for the feedback. :)

On the issue of getting updates quickly, there's a new project dedicated to that. It's called Feedmesh, and it's being done on a Yahoo Group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/feedmesh.

Basically, the idea is to share/distribute new item pings. Most blogging software has the capability to ping services when you post a new item. Sites like blo.gs and weblogs.com currently act as 'clearinghouses' for these pings. The Feedmesh project's goals are to distribute these more, while at the same time concentrating all the pings, so that everybody has access to all available pings. This will lead to faster updates in aggregators as well as decreased bandwidth for content providers.
