Scoble wants full-text RSS

Why should I care? Well, he's cleaning out his RSS feeds:

I'm cleaning out my RSS feeds. Things that'll get feeds removed:

1) If I haven't read you for months.
2) If you don't publish full content feeds.
3) If you haven't published for months.

I wish it were easier in NewsGator to delete feeds. Right now I have to delete them one-by-one and it's frustrating.

I'll publish a new OPML file later.

I can't do anything about #1, and I overdid it with #3 today. What did I do? Ran to my shell account, edited a couple of files, and hacked full text feeds into my install of Drupal. And hey, Robert, I have XAML on my front page, so there's another reason to keep reading me.

full text feeds, ummm...

then might as well send the mark-up since it's read in a browser anyways. makes little sense.

"Read in a browser anyways"

Don't know what you mean there, Greg. My newsreader can render HTML, but the non-styled view that I read it makes it very quick for me to read through a lot more content than I can in a browser.

feed readers

ought to do maintenance automatically and clean themselves up.

Depends on the reader

A lot of them actually do do this: many actually acknowledge HTTP status codes. In Drupal, a permanent redirect means that the system will actually grab the new location and copy it into the database.
