Visit www.radian6.com for information about the company. The only thing I can say is that they should definitely optimize their algorithm to <strong>primarily</strong> use sitemaps/rss feeds. Pulling the full content for each blog post 3-4 per day is not efficient when doing that on thousands of blogs.... Ahamed, I think the post in comment #3 provides a pretty good answer (http://hackd.net/2007/11/05/what-is-radianrss/). Visit http://www.radian6.com for information about the company.
