Thanks so much for linking to my contest! I just wanted to update your readers that I've just opened public voting on this contest.

Anyone can vote, through the end of February. The more votes we get, the more likely it is that a worthwhile consensus will emerge. Voters select their favorite out of the 273 new names for "RSS feed" proposed by contest entrants.
