The home page of ourfavoritesongs.com now shows the current top 100 RSS channels being scanned hourly by signed-on Radio users. The purpose of this list is to allow people outside the community to see what we're tuned into. It's recalculated every hour at one minute past the hour. Of course it's also available in XML.

I have to write a page explaining the "Thousands of Channels" that Radio can deliver. I want to be able to post to my Radio Blog via email. Dave Seidel still hasn't connected from Python to Radio via SOAP.
