The reason people don’t use RSS feeds as much is because they are not full-text-feeds. I say turn them to full text or just use them as a sort of internal messaging system.

I use Full-Text-Feeds with the http://www.Feedjournal.com application on my website http://www.Libertynewsprint.com
Its much easier to follow the feeds seeing them in an elegant full text newspaper format.

Cheers,

Malcolm: I’m not really going to go into a tit-for-tat exchange here. If you’d like to email me I would be happy to discuss automating posts on my personal blog from twitter and how it’s working.

Now back to this thread. My comments here were motivated by a personal opinion that standards of accuracy also apply to those who report or comment on journalism and the publishing industry. But to each their own right?

This has been a good conversation. Have a good day, looking forward to reading your posts more in the future.

Mark: Well, it was a blog post. I'm allowed to be polemical! Obviously, I couldn't resist going to look at your RSS feed. Don't take this the wrong way, please - I'm not doing this to be overly defensive or arsey. But it's here. And it suffers from truncated headings. And this one doesn't seem to be anything? Keeping RSS feeds going is not resource free. You can get your own back now by going to look at mine ...
