I’m a huge fan of web feeds, I’m using RSS Feeder. net at the moment that is a good tool, it syncs to Outlook, unlike anything like RSSBandit which includes a web browser, I’d need to pop up a new window to in fact view the content material that’s reasonably traumatic. Of course ideally the feed will comprise all of the content then I can just read the complete lot within Outlook. The BBC annoys me essentially the most, they send down a clip of the feed and force me to click on a URL and open a web browser to read it, they’re not a advertisement site they’re not losing any ad income so there’s no excuse not to send the complete thing down. For advertisement sites it’s certainly a distinct story.
Now I have full feeds for all of the blogs here, the actual semi commercial ish sites I have send down partial content material and force the user to go investigate the website. I’m because beefing it up to the whole article being sent down. However that might cut into the cash coming in from the advertisements on the website. I’m a huge believer it not annoying your users to hell with pop up ads and things that flash and move around what Bill Hill would call a concern zero interrupt in the human belief system, nothing is worse then looking to read a page and having all this crap fly around on the screen. Which is why I only have plain text adverts.
