    Aside: A long while back I wrote a tiny greasemonkey script to remove those annoying feedback tabs. (Here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/76116 ) I forgot that they even exist…

    They aren't calling our servers. And that was a European backbone (Tiscali) having trouble - if you're in the EU or small fractions of the east coast you may have seen that hiccup.…

    I'd be interested in alternative methods as well. I wrote the algorithms within readability, which are far from perfect.

    Yeah, sorry about that guys. We've had about 2 hours of downtime in the past three months, both network related issues at Slicehost - pretty aggravating, but otherwise they've been…

    jcnnghm, you should check out Kindling. (Disclaimer, I'm the founder - but I still find this problem very interesting.) What we've done is provided each user with a set number of v…
