They're already dealing with the majority of your traffic for free, whats wrong with a few hours between refreshes? Theres a quick fix if you want it instant — host your own feeds!

Honestly, Google really bungled-up the acquisition :(

Nick was a great guy and FB was awesome, it's a damn shame Google did it the way they did (I "lost" 200k subscribers overnight for one month until they got their MyBrand going again, they dropped half their services, logins to their site didn't work for over 2 weeks off and on.......)

This is the reason I'm buying the less possible games from Steam, because I know Valve could be bought buy Google or EA some day, and you have no control over it . You have absolutely no guarantee that the service you are using will be the same tommorow, and I definitly don't want all my eggs in the same basket. Same goes for a lot of online services.

I've tried, but I just can't take Steve Gilmore seriously. Anytime he writes or speaks, he just inflates his arguments with air. He usually has some good core ideas, but he always smothers them with excess exposition. Unfortunately it just makes it difficult to finish his articles much less get any usable info from them.
