It's been a while since my last post, but progress continues. A recent change you may run across sometime is intended to improve the feed fetch frequency for the feeds you care about. It's pretty simple, if you view a feed and it hasn't been checked in the past 30 minutes it will be checked right then and you will be notified if new items were found.
The next step is getting pubsubhubbub support implemented so those feeds that support real-time notifications will be updated in FeedsAnywhere in real-time as well.
