Was there a recent update to the algorithm that ranks the results of the feed API? Specifically between August 5 21:00 - August 6 1:00 EST?
While I was using the feed API, the results shifted around in ways I didn't expect. I'm not sure if this is because I was using the same computer (re-ranking results based on history) or because of an algorithm update. I wasn't logged in to my Google Account and was using the same referrer for all my queries.
