Should your RSS feeds be summaries or full content? There are pros and cons to both. For the longest time I’ve wrestled with this and refused to do full feeds, fearing content robbers. You know, those who grab your RSS feed to display your content on their website without having the decency to ask you.
But after owning a web enabled hand held device, I can see just how frustrating summary feeds are. You may have noticed lately there are a lot of posts around mobile marketing, mobile content and all things mobile. That’s because I believe mobility will be (is) a big part of the Internet.
Also, in re-visiting many arguments for full feeds, some sites claim that having full feeds actually bring people to your site – contrary to popular belief. Full feed proponents also report some gain in RSS readership. So, I’m finally ready to test it out. How do you like your feeds?
