- It's (dis)organized by time. You can keep your huge stream of ideas format but also give us the ability to view and link to individual posts categorized with a simple tagging structure. Without some kind of non-time structure, your good thoughts and work waste into the past. Oh, also add dates to the timestamps on the posts -- you guys post so often that it's easy to get lost.
- Attach the comments streams to the post. When Savage accidentally goes bourgeois in his posts, we want to be there when the proles rise up and drop some choice comments his way. Today, comments are sent off into some kind of separate message board purgatory -- there is no context in the post, no trail of thinking that keeps the ideas moving.
- Stay on Seattle. Ok. You can hit Alito now and then but we get to hear lots of voices on things on the world and national stage. Commentary on Beacon Hill? Only in the Slog.

amazingly, I think they just made the Slog worse. As far as I can tell, they just stopped publishing full content RSS feeds, which makes catching up on their reverse-chronological threaded inter-poster discussions even more challenging.
Yup, obsessive compulsive geeks like us will have to chill. Still, it's a good, random read. I'd like to see them think about some of these issues to make it more usable as a long-term benefit to the city. They may smirk but some good stuff comes through that feed that people should be able to find and use later. And guess what, Stranger, it will be better for your biz too. More eyeballs equals mo' money.
