The problem with the first is that users would get a bunch of single items whenever they were added to the DB. I need to give them a digest of what happened that week. I had thought of the range idea, but then you're hitting the DB every hour all week for a single update which doesn't sound correct. So i think i'll have a cron task just update a field in a table each week that the actual Feed view will pull from. It's still a db hit, but a very simple one.
