I had spoken to Dan off-list about this before he posted and want to agree with Warren that this is very useful contribution to the Evergreen community. I'm going to create an Evergreen category feed for my personal blog so the "Planet" can subscribe to just those related posts. Perhaps the feed's splash page can encourage bloggers who write cross-topic to do the same? As someone who tracks a lot of "intelligence" feeds, I can testify that it's pretty hard to finesse a keyword feed for "Evergreen" (or "Equinox") that doesn't pull in loads of noise (though specific to any one blog, that might work fine).
I'm a little torn about Warren's request but am inclined to agree with him. I hate it when typo corrections refresh the posts... but there are times when I want to draw eyes to a correction or amplification. I think the best way for me to do that (not just thinking about Planet Evergreen) is to write a separate, shorter post mentioning that the post has been substantively changed. Anyway, kudos to the tireless Dan Scott who has again come up with something wonderful! If he thinks it's baked enough, I'll mention it in the newsletter, pushed to a Thursday morning pub date due to several other interesting items flowing in this week.
