I hate crappy RSS feeds.
I subscribe to quite a lot of these feeds to keep track of interesting websites and friends’ blogs and so on. Most of the time these give you an overview of what has been published and when as soon as it happens, which is so much easier than going around all of the websites to check if anything new has been posted.
Some of these feeds are crappy. And I hate them.
By this I mean they only give you, say, the title of the posted article and no content at all, forcing you to leave the comfort of your RSS reader to see the rest. I usually throw these out and stop following the websites.
Today I added my own site to my RSS reader, and to my horror realised that my very own site has one of these crappy RSS feeds. This has now been rectified, and those who subscribe will hopefully welcome the difference, those who subscribed before but were annoyed by it can now try again, and those who never did can now add me. Those who never used RSS (and I imagine those are in the majority) should take this chance to give it a try.
And here’s a nice video that explains the whole thing better than I could. Release your inner nerd! Use RSS!
