All of my websites certainly are not public knowledge, and that would be the case (or should be) for lots of people doing niche marketing. People keep niches a secret. They don't want their competitiors to know which niches they are working in. If data like that slipped out from someone with lots of website property, VRE, like maybe John Reese (who invented the VRE term), it could be very expensive for their business. Hi Montoya

Anyone could monitor my sites with their own computer or a service like Montastic. In that regard, I'm almost certain that there is no point to Montastic making RSS feeds private. Still, there does need to be some sort of "noshare" flag for other feeds that are private. I can think of feeds that notify you of when you have e-mails.
