I made the Feedster logo a while back. Never saw a dime from it. Oh well. Though they changed the blue document border to green.

That's strange. Did they promise to pay you, and what's your full name?

Philipp,
We'll get the correct feed in there in a couple hours. Pardon the confusion.

They never promised to pay me, but then they wanted a high-quality version of the logo to use for a convention. And for that they didn't want to pay me, or they never got back to me. I made it under Etation Media, which is my on-again off-again web design business. http://www.etationmedia.com

They used to give me credit on their website, back when they weren't a real company.

At least the new iteration of the Feedster Top 500 list is somewhat better: they apparently had the good sense to take me off the list (I say apparently, because I couldn’t be bothered to look at every single page now that it’s annoyingly split up instead of being a single list, but I’m not down at the bottom where I was last time (oh, okay, I can hack URL query parameters to get it on one page, and I’m properly gone)).

However: #394(http://mp3djay.com) (and no, I don’t know why offset=392 brings up number 394, now stay on track) makes it look like the disambiguation is still, well, er, “beta!” There’s certainly nothing wrong with Open Access News, but what the hell is Mark Pilgrim doing over there on the left side, smirking about how he’s linked to his ancient scraped feed for it, from back in the days before Blogger had any feeds of any sort? It returns a 410 Gone, so if Feedster knows about it then it quite likely knows about it in a way that pisses Mark off mightily: don’t you have a picture of him spitting blood and flipping the viewer off, that would do better for linking as many people as you can to something that’s Gone. Gone. Gone.?

As opposed to Technorati at least Feedster knows how to include the small thumbnail for everyone. Technorati until today never accepts mine even though it shows in the profile...
