It?s powerful and easy to use. Once you start watching the video on the web, RipTiger will pick it up and do the recording for you. I download online video using RipTiger.

I've heard some say it's only once every two or three hours. It's actually a pretty good deal for the blog owners too because it appears that Bloglines grabs 1 copy of the RSS feed instead of hitting the site hundreds of times a day. That might not sound like such a big deal but the more readers you get the more your RSS feed will get slammed by people checking hourly. Bloglines aggregates those requests which is nice.

Kind of annoying to think that doing it one way or the other breaks someone else. On my site bloglines will only pick up my pictures if I use the short form and not the FQD form.

I'm actually in the process of gathering e-mail addresses from each of the blogs I syndicate (however there are some blogs with no e-mail attached, not quite sure what to do with these yet). I was thinking about adding a link in the e-mail that would automatically remove a given blog, if the owner don't want to be listed. I'm also aware of the name "collision" with Hdouble’s Blogger blog, but not until recently - so I'll try to squeeze out a new domain name from my not so creative brain (read: I'm open for suggestions :)) This site is by no means a ad-farm, I'm addicted to poker (...and programming) and would like to provide a tool to this community aka weblogs.asp.net. Cheers, and thanks again for your constructive feedback! - kenneth Thank you for your comments and suggestions Bill.

First, the domain CardSpeak.net is way too close to Hdouble's Blogger blog The Cards Speak. Everyone knows HDouble's blog so a site with a name so close is likely to be viewed as trying to rip him off. Also, there's been quite a few folks ripping off RSS feeds and posting them on their site to get high search engine ranking but the site is nothing more than a banner farm of affiliate deals. If your site has even the slightest hint of such you can expect the full wrath of the blogger community which would likely include legal action. My best advice to you is to do whatever it takes to distance yourself from the above. I would pick a new domain name and I would go around and seek permission before posting anyone's blogs. You don't appear to be ripping people off as others have done in the past but you would surely win big karma points by seeking permission rather than people needing to contact you for removal. I like the idea overall but I'm not sure how it's much different than subscribing to all those feeds in Bloglines or another RSS reader. You should really consider some way to bring some additional value in your offering. I'm not sure what that is but if you're doing the hard part of downloading and categorizing feeds then there's probably more than a few value add features you could throw in there to make it a very useful tool for the community. Best, Bill Kenneth,

I'm a developer and really like weblogs.asp.net - I've put up my own syndication of asp.net related blogs several times in several news aggregators (newsgator online, omea reader, u name it) but I always fall back to weblogs.asp.net. I guess the reason is that there are simply too many blogs on this topic, and I don't have the time to keep track of all new blogs that pops up like mushrooms everywhere. After some thinking I started working on a similar concept, but on Poker: www.cardspeak.net I'd really like to hear your comments on this kind of site before I go "live" with it - maybe there are additional functionality, that could make it easier to use? Btw, the design is up for a redesign ;) Interesting post!
