Personally, I mostly dislike news personalization. For instance, I always log out of reddit unless I'm actually going to post something or add a comment, because of the personalization issue. My selection of techy-related aggregators like r

You're not using multicast IP, are you? I've heard (a while ago) that this doesn't work at all on EC2, e.g. their routers don't support or have limited support for IGMP. If you had a protocol that mixed unicast and multicast then that may e

Having an admin or test site publicly accessible is a really bad idea, for exactly this reason. If any search engine comes across a link to this site, it will crawl the site. Even if it doesn't promote the test site above you main site, i
