Just found a crazy real-time statistics widget from FEEDJIT. Right now (September 2008) you can see it in action on this site just below the about box on the right side of this page. It is not very attractive visually, but check out what it realy does. Impressive, but little bit creepy - don´t you think? I don´t know how long the FEEDJIT widget will remain on this site. Maybe as long as some visitors of Api-Madness complain about feeling paranoid when they see this widget ;.)
UPDATE: I removed this script from start page as it slowed down pageloading too much. You can still find it on Widget Garbage Dump

Some days ago I did the Ping Loop Test and I luckily had only 4 duplicate posts to clean up. Now the question is, why did the loop stop. To answer this i didn´t have to go into analyzing logfiles and plugin behavior.Ping.FM has rate limits of 3 messages per rolling minute to prevent spam. This absolutly makes sense for a message distribution service like them. And it does not just prevent spam but it also prevents fast loops that could crash a service.
