Matt,

Well, I just happen to catch the following event that showed up in the past hour 
feed at 9:54pm EDT and monitored it using my test page that auto-refreshes every 
3 minutes.  It was in the feed up until about 10:35pm EDT and then it was gone. 
So, it would seem to me that it is a timer issue.  Maybe Eric can shed some 
light on what’s really going here.

Harold,

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. With regard to 
events not staying on the feed for an hour, I always assumed that the "Past 
Hour" meant that it only showed events that actually occurred within the last 
hour. For example, if the event occurs at 1pm, and is posted at 1:30pm, the 
event would fall off the feed at 2pm thus only staying on the feed for 30 
minutes. I think this is why my app was missing so many events. The event would 
be posted 1+ hours after it occurred so it was only hitting the Past Day and 
longer feeds. Though i could be wrong.
