How Do You Like Your RSS newsfeed - Lean Or Full Text
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog. Or you can subscribe to a combined news feed for all SMM publications. Thanks for visiting!
Dana VanDen Heuvel has pushed strongly for RSS feeds with full text. Since some seem to prefer summaries and some full text, I decided to offer both starting this last weekend. I wondered about short words that could be used to describe the two versions of the RSS newsfeeds. I played around with the words, ‘Slim’ or ‘Lite’, but eventually settled on ‘Lean’. So you can either subscribe to ‘BPWrap - Full’ or ‘BPWrap - Lean’
By coincidence, I had very satisfying confirmation of my decision, when I saw a blog post from Eric Meyer. He is a fine web designer and has several RSS newsfeeds, each available in Full text or Summary versions. He in turn gives credit to Khoi VinhÂ’s Web Site called Subtraction. I too find Subtraction really sharp. It’s a powerful confirmation that this is the way to go when such eminences are adopting this approach.
NOTE added May 2006: With the switch to Wordpress, the Lean RSS newsfeed is no longer available.
