Dead on about needing an accountant for small business stuff. People really, really get it wrong usually.

Thanks for the coverage of FeedStitch, guys. I think you really hit on the driving need for why we originally created the application when you mentioned stitching together a bunch of Linux-related Twitter search feeds. Sharing that information with others is much easier when you have a single source to pull from.
While the main benefit to users is the sharing of the aggregated feed (via HTML / RSS / JSON), you can still see the list of feeds that make up the aggregate. It’s not really obvious, but you can find the list at the bottom of a group page.
If you have any suggestions for additional features, send them our way.

Patrick,
Thanks for your comment. I am glad we were able to provide a fair review of the awesome service, FeedStich. We will do a follow up and let our listeners know they can feeds that make up the aggregated feed.
Once again, love the service.
