I like it!
I'm curious as to what kind of implicit editorial process is happening based on which sources you've chosen. Would you be willing to share your full list of sources and how you chose them? (How well can I infer the former based on all of the links actually currently present?)

#22People are comparing this to The Drudge Report, but your layout is much cleaner, and your headlines less hyperbolic, and you don't seem ideologically motivated. Otherwise, this is like The Drudge Report for Tech news! Good job.
- I don't think that your site is much like The Drudge Report.
Also, if you are so interested in news for Linux, please just keep it as one of the main topics.

I wouldn't be opposed to posting a dynamic list of feeds on the about page.
To answer your parenthetical question: not very well. Since articles are sorted based on the weight of their feed, and since I only show the first few articles for each topic, articles from feeds with lower weights may rarely appear. They will, however, contribute to the overall weight of the topic and force it into the top ten.

#24Really nice. I think you could increase accessibility and click through increasing news titles font size and adding some padding. I noticed that it's verys easy to read block titles but difficult to focus on actual news, with the result that I scroll the page searching for "interesting blocks" more than "interesting news". Well done anyway ;) Any thoughts about exposing some rdf views?
I think a feed would be too high-volume. But you can get topic updates from @TECHNOSPLODE on Twitter.

#25Hard to scan, the keyword headings are a good start but I still have to drill down into the article headlines to see what the article is actually about.
A summary of the issue (eg."Google buys Zagat" instead of "Google, Zagat") would be helpful when scanning.
