Carmen, I'm having the same problem with the Choose Your News page. How do 
you wade thru all the channels? My current idea is that you sort them based 
on update frequency, so the most active channels rise to the top of the 
list and the most inactive ones fall to the bottom. If there will be many 
more channels, what's coming next will be even more challenging.

Re categories, I'd like to allow the channel-providers to be able to seed 
them. Let them declare the categories they want to belong to, and then the 
aggregators can group them. This grouping should be dynamic, so it's easy 
for a CP to take themselves out of a category.

BTW, half of my intro message appears to have been cut off, right at the 
point where I had pasted a URL into the message. I wonder if there's a bug 
in this listserv??

Also, I'm looking for a way for readers to address their complaints about 
channels to the people who are responsible for the channel, not to me. I 
get a fair amount of email about broken links, bad style, etc, when it's 
completely not in my power to do anything about it.
