Feedster goes in my aggregator hall of shame for continuing to fetch my old feed URL even years after it's been sending 301 redirects to the new location. Quit it!

No disrespect to Keith, but we go to everybody -- and even faster when we've caused a service problem. Subscribing to a Feedster search on "feedster" works pretty darn well. And, if we don't keep publishers and searchers happy, we're not going to get too far.

Matt, I figured they might find their way here

But now I feel bad, I didn't mean to embarrass you Scott! I'll update the post when I see it's fixed.

By the way, Scott(s), I'd be interested to find out how many feeds in your database get new URLs once your spider starts respecting 301s. Care to share?
