I was only stating what the problem is. We have this problem as well, which I even said. I was referring to the kind of sites people would especially want a feed from, when you compare to similar services in English (aka the copycat versions). I will leave it at that because I am not going to name them. I am not dissing any site, not even freundefeed. If you read my comments, and also see that Michael named me in giving the tip about freundefeed, then you should realize, I only did something good for them. I'm not a mean, jealous, or hateful person, so I don't roll with such tactics. @Marcus, I was being fair. I was only stating what the problem is. We have this problem as well, which I even said.
