Great application if you have a good RSS feed for a skeptic oriented site I wholeheartedly suggest you add it.
I've just started mucking around with it and getting an idea how it works, keen on looking at what can be done with it.
Skepticator (http://www.skepticator.com)is an RSS aggregator run by Jason Brown (http://twitter.com/drunkenmadman), a skeptical atheist interwebs guy based in Sydney, Australia. It is supported by ads and runs on beer, cigarettes and sandwiches, in that order.
This is BETA version 0.9.1 of Skepticator. Coming versions will have features such as popularity tracking, customisation and social link sharing
More on this beta
Skepticator is gathering data in the background, so can take 10-15 mins to refresh the feed
Tweeting directly from skepticator might be buggy. Please report errors!
It can manage Atom and RSS feeds but sometimes hiccups over broken entries
Blogs with a lot of markup in their feeds may get truncated summaries (I'm looking at you, Guardian blogs)
Approval of new feeds is slightly slow in this stage
Currently scans twitter and bloglists every 15 minutes. This will be increased to around every five minutes once the algorithms are streamlined, then tuned based on the ongoing load
Podcast support is on the way - don't email me asking for it, I'm already on it
