Full-Text RSS Feeds: Final Thoughts

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 05.26.05 // 07:10 PM

Hopefully this should be the final post on this subject for a while. Just a few items:

- Trevor Cook has listened to his audience and re-enabled full-text feeds.

- Jeremy Zawodny..."I unsubscribed from Chris Pirillo's blog because I was tired of reading a 6 word teaser to a story that didn't tell me if I'd really be interested."

- Scoble..."I'm unsubscribing from Chris Pirillo's and any other feed that isn't full text. I'm tired of reading feeds that treat me badly."

- Chris Pirillo takes his ball and goes home. But he does say that that most recent post was a full feed. Will he continue? We'll see.

Moral of the story, give the people what they want, and that can be a number of options. Chris is smart enough to offer his podcasts/interviews in MP3 and WMV format, give people a choice. Perhaps a good solution for Chris would be a teaser feed with no ads and full-text feed with subtle ads.
