It's a bit tighter than Memeorandum. That's kind of cool...

Thanks! I actually hadn’t come across Memeorandum before, but it looks neat. I like its simplicity as well, and the previews it shows. One issue I ran into making this is that not all RSS feeds seem to contain descriptions, so it was hard to make something like that work and look consistent.

Yeah - It's actually pretty neat because it headlines the stories that people (blogs) are talking about.

There used to be a browser plug-in (Memeorandum Colors) that did an SVD breakdown of the top 1500-or-so commenting sites and came up with a "line" from Deep-blue to Deep-red (blue, baby-blue, white, pink, red) and would shade every commenter according to their "bias".

It was neat! I liked the site a lot more when the add-on worked. I fixed it for a couple of generations, but FF (which I use) started making it a lot harder to keep up with.
