We'd like to wish everyone a happy new year! Our recent updates were very successful (other than a minor DNS glitch). Some questions have come up in regards to the new Google Map. There are a few known bugs we are working on fixing.
One new feature, just added today, is the ability to get RSS feeds of profiles. Two feeds are currently available: 10 newly added profiles and 10 newly added/edited profiles. Want to see more customizable feeds? Let us know in the GTalk Profile Google Group.
