@Kevin I think that depends on what you mean by arbitrary. There are a number of clauses in there that make it clear they want you to show the results as they are returned in their entirety. The results may contain tracking URLs that will mask the actual true URL and some results may be advertisements.

@George Stocker The plugin polls so I could see that happening. Depending on how many profiles the person configures, how many mentions they have and how quickly they tell it to poll. A 15 second poll would work out to 10.5KB each poll and that is still pretty big, all my info polls in about 2KB.

@George Edison I couldn't repeat getting stuck but I did see the error. I changed things a little and got the error in question to go away. I also added some more error handling so hopefully between those two things it fixes the issue.

@George Edison Is that causing something to break for you? That looks like it is part of the theme javascript.

This is what pubsubhubbub is for. I imagine the answer will be no because of complexity. I would rather just have a firehose with every change in it.

@Pulse Can you tell me the version of firefox you are using? This could be a tough one to track down. It may also help if we move the conversation over to the support group that I set up here groups.google.com/group/swatch-support

@Pulse I think I need to know exactly what you are entering as your name. My guess is that something isn't being encoded correctly and I need to fix that. Can you give me an example of what user name you are entering that gives you that error? Can you try searching for something like "Jon" and tell me if that breaks as well?

@Pulse are you getting that when you try to find your id on stack overflow or one of the other sites? Can you tell me exactly what you typed into the search field?

@systempuntoout I'll add an optional ding if I can. @espo I'll make it an option.
