No, it seems to get whacky sometimes. I don't use it any longer. Seeing its
weakness after the first PageRank update was enough of a deterrent. The
only reason I made a mentioning of the URL (albeit with an intentional
space which in some newsreader would break the link) is because the OP
mentioned yet another broken tool.
All of these scraping/API-reliant services are suseptible to breakage. There
are a few exceptions such as the BBC Weather scraper that still sends me
forecast as feeds and the Google SERP scraper from Ben Hammersley. It makes
it possible to look at 1 SERP per second with only daily changes flagged.
Great stuff that!
