RSSmeme - Look out ReadBurner!

Look out ReadBurner; RSSmeme is coming for you!  I registered rssmeme.com yesterday and launched the site today.  It was a test for me to see how good/fast of a Django developer I am.  It isn’t 100% done yet; but most of the functionality is there.

Why another one of these sites?  Because it was fun to make and competition is good.  I have things that ReadBurner doesn’t and ReadBurner has things that I don’t.  I think that eventually both of us will be better because of this.

How did I get so much data in less than 24 hours?  I got all the feeds by screen scraping ReadBurner (sorry if this offends you).  My update script parses through 50 feeds per minute; I’m not sure how fast ReadBurner is.

It isn’t the fastest site I’ve ever made; so please be gentle!  The caching is not so great yet.

If you have any requests please let me know.  I’ve kept things very simple so it’s easy for me to add new features at any time. I’m not sold on the color pallet yet either.
