Those are actually comments on posts. I switched around blocks a bit and that one lost its title at some point.
If you're talking about the "E-Book Queen" search engine, that just looked like spamming, to me, though there was one above it where the user's site URL was what looked like a file-sharing site. Those were both posted before we added a third-party filter to scan comment posts for that sort of thing. I deleted both of them in any case. So, any ideas on good feeds for news? I'd love to be able to think of a way to bring together inspiring stuff -- Frank's post from a few days ago reminded me that I'd forgotten about Long Now, which often has interesting speakers and always makes the talk available for podcast aggregation.
