Thanks Duncan. I think TechMeme still has a bit of an advantage with breaking news since it analyzes linking patterns - especially with stories that break in mainstream media, since most of those sites have lame RSS feeds that only show a snippet (and hence, have few subscribers and are rarely shared amongst RSS users).
On the other hand, when something breaks on a blog with a full RSS feed, the viral aspect of sharing seems to bump things up on our site really fast ... for example, this story is currently "Breaking News" ... the irony :-)

Nice... really solid set of features that compliment this great service. These guys have really nurtured this project... and to think, there was a time where the entire thing was almost lost to the deadpool for good. I can't wait to enjoy these features and see what cool stuff they give us next!
