We really do appreciate it. RSS Mixer is very much a work in progress--in fact, it's more of a stepping stone to greater things to come (hopefully!). Right now the limit is set to 10 feeds--but that is rather arbitrary--we will likely add more possible feeds once that application is completely stable. There was a 2 1/2 development period here--so prototype is an accurate description. By the way, love Bavatuesdays and where do I get a Rev shirt! Jim Jim,

Just tried another two feeds and realize that they are collating the RSS feeds according to time published, my bad! The first example I used was a poor one. What threw me off a bit on the first go around was that it only displays 10 entries per feed. I now see the light, very cool. One more time!

I would recommend that if possible you allow users to control the way in which their feeds show up. For example, can you mix 20 different feeds and have the most recent post from any of those feeds always show up on top, and the next recent from what ever site, etc. This would also require a way to designate 'blog title --> post title' in the heading. I find when I'm trying to mix feeds in WordPress or Drupal that I more often than not want them to be reproduced in a reverse chronological order similar to the blog logic(regardless of what site they come from). Now other folks may want it according to tags, topics, what have you (all a bit more difficult I imagine). So, in short, allowing users to control and configure such options would go a long way in my opinion towards a larger adoption, though the widget and iPhone hooks are very, very cool! Great stuff, Jim Hey Ideum folks,
