Zirrus has continued its explosive growth in the last week, expanding to over 3500 registered users. We’ve received a lot of useful feedback; if you submitted comments and haven’t heard back yet, we’re working through it as fast as we can.

Today we’re excited to announce one major improvement and one new feature.Support for international characters is now much much better, from accent marks to non-English alphabets. You should be able to throw just about any language at Zirrus successfully.

We’ve had a lot of requests for RSS feeds and public tasks, and we’ve added both as one feature. In the lower left corner you’ll now see an RSS feed button (along with an Add to My Yahoo! button for Yahoo! users) that always provides an RSS newsfeed for the current view (list + tag).

These feeds are public: they don’t require login, but they do include authentication that’s unique to the view. That means you can share your tasks for one tag without making all your tags public. It also means you can share tags on a person-by-person basis. We think this new functionality is pretty powerful, and we’re curious to hear how you use it. We’re also hoping to put up some more specific documentation for technical types.
