1. Only have headlines, which means that you show the most concise view possible.
2. Don't have any heavy graphics load for your visitors to download. The only graphics involved are 58 and 128 bytes. This results in an incredibly small total download footprint averaging < 12k (that's smaller than most banner ads!).
3. With a small, yet adjustable width, it's easily placed into the smaller nooks and crannies on your site, rather than needing a page of its own.
