My RSS feed for this web site stopped working about 6 days ago. Is it me or is the feed down?

Nope. Seems fine to me. http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/xml/ have you switched readers? or perhaps there is a character in the feed that your reader can't handle. What reader are you using?

I'm using Yahoo's beta RSS feed. Pocket PC Thoughts works fine, and so do all the other feeds, just thoughts is stuck 6 days ago. I have deleted and readded it, but that doesn't help.

My first guess is that something in the feed is breaking yahoo. This is very common with special chars like & % @ etc...

However I ran the feed through feedvalidator (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smartphonethoughts.com%2Fxml%2F) and it suggested there was a encoding issue that might cause some problems. The PPCT (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pocketpcthoughts.com%2Fxml%2F) doesn't report this issue. I'll let Jason and Fabrizio know, just in case this is the problem.
