I made a hacked together landing page when iGoogle was retired and been fine up until last week. I am getting the same issue for cached RSS feeds but only for Reddit.com's RSS feed. All other RSS feeds on my landing page are current and use the GoogleAPI feed.
The Reddit RSS feed URL is http://www.reddit.com/.rss and shows current posts. Using the GoogleAPI feed with the following call, you get the posts from July 30th (today is Aug 7): https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&num=5&output=json&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2F.rss Changing the post count or trying the cache busting parameter options and no luck. Using other RSS feeds from Reddit and get various caching of a couple days to couple weeks but nothing ever current. As an example, http://www.reddit.com/r/all/.rss Feed using the following call returns July 21st posts: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&num=5&output=json&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fall%2F.rss Is Google blocking the update of caches for Reddit.com RSS feeds? Is there anyway to force the cache refresh or should i look at excluding the GoogleAPI feed and coding a local caching solution (would like to avoid)? The landing page i made and to see live example is http://this.4that.net/ Thanks in advance.
