  • A list recent comments now shows up on the homepage, when you’re logged in.
  • There’s a new RSS feed for recent comments here.
  • A list of recent comments posted by each user shows up on their updates page.

And, a new feedback forum hosted by Uservoice.  I’ll be using that as a feature queue and a way to add notes on what I’m thinking as I add new features to the network.  Please do check it out and vote for the features you think I should work on next.  Also, please add your own suggestions and feedback there.

So, there’s now an RSS feed for all the latest updates (which is neat right now, but will be useless to you as the traffic scales upward later on).  That was easy.

More interesting, if you’re using the site or trying to figure out how to share your updates there with your Twitter followers or your blog readers or anyone else:  A feed just for you, of just your updates.

While I might not be interested in subscribing to the RSS feeds of individual users, individual users certainly might be interested in taking their feeds and displaying their updates in the sidebar of the blog, or routing them through Twitterfeed, or posting them to Friendfeed, or building themselves little widgets if they please.

Sounds good to me.  If you do something cool with your updates feed, let us know!
