Dave Winer has been using PubSub to track references to himself - I tried using PubSub for Smalltalk and BottomFeeder references, and it was doing a much worse job than Feedster. I've got support in BottomFeeder for adding Feedster searches easily; I can't do that with PubSub because they have this whole email registration system. That discourages use, to my mind.
