i thought that might be possible but i think the tricky part would be to have a script to keep the feed updated. Well one of the sites on my feed wish list was PFO so i went to recommend it in the suggestions forums but there was already a post for it and Big K put up the link. Just didn't have a link to it on the front page. I thought it would be nice to some how have it go to the User Control page as well but then i figured if you get a reply to one of your questions it will be on the homepage at some point so i can just look at the post in the feed and look for any of mine.

edit: just realized that won't work the way i thought it would. If your thread is already on the homepage and gets a new reply you won't necessarily know because the feed has already said it was on the front page.
