I'm interested in instant feedback for two reasons. First, I want the
blogroll on my site updated instantly. Secondly, I'd like to have a Mozilla
sidebar that shows me when blogs i'm interested in are updated "live" (it
would use javascript remote scripting as seen in Brent Ashley's blogchat
and body-tag.org's DCHAT to pull the information in).

Cheers,

Simon
