I've got a LiveJournal - and fairly recently it's been able to export and read RSS feeds. There's now a "syndication account" feature. I actually created for RiR. http//www.livejournal.com/~randsinrepose/ I tried Jerkcity but it dosen't seem to like the RSS. It's all blank: http://www.livejournal.com/~jerkcity/ (hintprojecthint)

I don't use it for big sites like Slashdot, Freshmeat, etc. Those would engulf my entire friends list so I simply browse to them. But for weblogs that aren't updated as often (yours, sweetcode, memepool) it's a godsend. Everything appears on my "friends list" when it's updated.

There's a handy list of what's already syndicated: http://www.livejournal.com/syn/ Unfortunately you have to be logged in to view it.

Notable is the point system they use, here's a quote from the syndication page:

"All users have a quota for how many feeds they can befriend, based on account type. Befriending a syndicated account costs a variable amount, depending on the popularity of the feed. Popular feeds cost less, as the expense of the system maintaining the feed is shared by all the watchers. If you're the sole watcher of a feed, it costs 1 unit. If there are 5 people, it costs a half unit. At 25 people, one third of a unit, and so on..."

Probably way more than you needed to know. But I wanted to point out there's now a whole new base of people (From LJ and other sites running LJ code) who'll be potentially acessing RSS feeds, since it's as easy as them "adding a friend." Most probalby won't even know what the hell RSS is, I wager....
