rss villainy

truncated rss feeds suck.

you’re telling me i have to actually visit your website to see your content? go back to 1997. i’ll only look at your site through my reader. unless it’s pornography. a porn rss feed would be genius. please don’t steal my idea. but yeah. there are several blogs that have excellent editorial content, but by truncating their feeds, and attempting to force me away from the veritable rosetta stone that is google reader they damn themselves to obscurity. that’s where i get blogs from. i pluck them from obscurity and bring them into the cleansing pure light of google reader where they are sorted, tabulated, classified, and read constantly.

so go ahead. truncate that feed. or worse yet, don’t offer a feed at all. it’s like driving to the theater to see what’s playing: anachronistic horse’s shit.
