Extend the RSS length?
Why not just update your feed more often?

That won't work for anyone using an RSS service that updates once a day be default, nor for anyone using a client-side reader who isn't in a position to manually pull the feed in the morning and in the afternoon.
Providing at least 24 hours worth of feed seems like just plain courteous behavior.

i'd find this useful.
or perhaps askmefi needs to be further restricted. one question per user per month, instead of per week.

At some point there will be more than 50 a day, and then we'll have this same problem again. How about adding feeds for categories, so the posts can be distributed throughout multiple feeds (in addition to allow more per feed)?

I just changed it to 24 hours instead of 25 posts. When someone posts a new question, it'll be updated to the new file.

With bloglines and askme not getting along so often, this would be a good thing. It's nice to catch up on all the missed posts during that small window of the day it actually works.

Matt. Very cool. Of course, the RSS hasn't been updated in ...um... 3+ hours.

Report this to your RSS service as a bug. The feeds contain the ttl element, which indicates how long the cache life should be. And it's one hour.
