Bandwidth. Just one more thing, Matt. Sounds like you're just getting familiar with RSS. If you're not familiar with how to set it up, I'd suggest you do a search for how to handle the bandwidth regarding RSS. If you don't set things up right on the server side, you may find yourself nailed with a huge bandwidth bill.

The centralized aggregators like yahoo and bloglines only poll your feeds once an hour. But when someone downloads a client, they might set it to check every minute. There are solutions to limit its impact. But if you don't do it, you could have a huge bandwidth bill.

Matt, I am pretty sure it won't show just the IH posts about a certain ticker, I think it shows all.
I couldn't change the refresh rate from 10 minutes and I could not get it to log into IHUb so I could post replies...

Hi Matt,

BTW, if you want the RSS "headlines" retrieved from IHub into QT to show up for a given symbol, you can add a tag in the RSS feed with the symbol. Don't remember of the top of my head which tag. I think its just <SYMBOL>DELL</SYMBOL> inside each ITEM tag. SYMBOL is not a supportes RSS tag, so it will just be ignored by all other readers.

If you want to do that, just let me know and I will check on the exact name of the tag for you
