Blogarithms

This isn’t a new idea, but I’ve been getting status reports via RSS of temporary performance problems, outages (none), updates, etc., from the gang at FeedBurner. This is awesome. I want an RSS feed for every product and service I use: my computer hardware, my software, my car, my refrigerator. And I want a way to tell my aggregator(s) to check some of these feeds only once a day or whatever. (Using a web-based aggregator like NewsGator Online makes this a bit less important.) Many people have suggested this before, but I never realized how great it is to get this information proactively and not in email.
