I’m looking for a spliced RSS feed containing the blogs of all the participants, to keep track of anything they might report back.

[…] If you are thinking of applying, do take caution. The first Search Champs event had participants like Dave Winer, Chris Pirillo, Robin Good, David Weinberger, Liz Lawley, Buzz Bruggerman, Marc Orchant, Stephen Bink, and many others. The second was just as “star-studded”. I wouldn’t suggest applying unless someone at MSN is likely to know who you are, and only if you bring something unique to the table. Its likely to be another strong group, so getting through will not be easy. […]
