Seems to me that it might be a good idea to add pings to
blo.gs,
weblogs.com,
blogrolling.com, etc. into the Scoop code for the site - I don't know how many folks are using those services to track when content has changed, but aren't they also used for blogrolls that show when content has changed? As far as a lot of folks are concerned, it's quite possible that dKos has simply stopped updating.
Details on the format to use for the XML-RPC pings is available here.
