ah, I was wondering why all of your entries showed up (title only, blank content) in my rss reader. They still serve as a reminder to check the friends page too. (One of these days I'll make my reader use an authenticating proxy; I'm pretty sure you see friends-locked posts in rss if you fetch it when logged in...)
Another thing to know about is that there are "live feeds" of all public postings in real time. That's probably not what google uses (since they have older postings too, though it might be a way to discover feeds to look at), but technorati and that sort of thing do. (I pulled that feed into an appliance at work for a couple of days, as a volume scaling test, but also to see if lj is "interestingly geographic". Lots of good "casual" writing...) I assume synlevel controls that too.
