I'm having all sorts of issues getting this to automate.
1. I have yet to figure out the right command to run cron in my cron tab. Memetracker users will need to set up a cron job. Can you recommend what we should put into our cron tab?
2. One of the options I was using in cron was running cron...but it was messing up the memes. This continues.
3. How do I refresh my feeds? Are they supposed to refresh during cron? I think so. But they're not doing it. When I navigate to domain.com/cron.php maybe 3-4 of the 200 feeds update. That's a pretty big problem. I need them all to update.
I realize these aren't memetracker issues per se. But these are issues that memetracker users will need to resolve. If you can't run cron and have that cron update all of your feeds...well that's kind of necessary to getting the memetracking process working.

Yeah, cron problems can be tricky to figure out. Hopefully they can help you out over there in the FeedAPI queue. Two things to check though -- try refreshing a feed manually at admin/content/feed -- if that works, it's not a feedapi issue but a cron issue. Then try running cron manually at admin/reports/status. If cron runs successfully, check that feeds were updated again at admin/content/feed. If you find that feeds are updating, just not very many at a time. Then you'll probably need to adjust the max_execution_time in your php.ini file. cron.php can only run as long as that value is set. If that value is set very low, the cron.php script might only have a few seconds to download feeds before it has to quit.
