When did Projects get a feedback section?

Yeah, but what you describe is a "search engine".

Except this one suh-ux, hard. For example, a search for movies yields 25 posts. Um, ok. And you have to sign up for it. And it certainly doesn't help you track memes as they spread -- no who posted it first, no blogdex or technorati style gainers, losers, fast spreading versus slow spreading, etc. etc. etc. No network visualization graphs of which nodes (sites) stole which links (edges) today, or in the last n days.

It may be that there's nothing to get here. That somebody wrote a sraper for rss feeds and now lets you search it. Nice. Welcome to 2002. Sorry to be such a naysayer.

web 2.1? where's the CHANGELOG?

Thanks to all of you for checking out my site. It is brand new, and the features were purposely kept to a minimum because I am interested in what direction people think this should take.

The features suggested sound quite promising, and I have added some to be implemented soon. I appreciate the feedback, even the naysaying.
