    Unrelated question: Could RSSmeme accept pings? I often make small edits to my articles after they are published, and services such as Google Reader are usually very forgiving, only caching the latest copy of the published article. However, RSSmeme seems to take the first one and then never looks at it again (from a content standpoint).

    If you could incorporate pings it would allow RSSmeme to grab the latest version of an article.

    There is at least one good argument for why this is would be a Good Thing -- if people subscribe to a RSSmeme feed (say, their custom friendfeed list) and an article gets changed or removed after it is shared, it stays unchanged on RSSmeme.

    everytime someone shares a story. I've thought about doing this but have
    held back because it's just more load on an already overloaded server.

    Glad to hear that you have been thinking about it. Thanks!
