“I firmly believe RSS feeds should contain the full text of an entry and here is a good answer to those of you who might be asking “Why?””
This does seem like a good idea (he said, after making sure he was offering full posts), but I’ve thought of one case where this isn’t necessarily the best approach.
If you subscribe to a meta-feed like this one for Seattle-area weblogs or this one for Austin, you would never actually see the original feed, instead just getting the aggregated feeds. So the only time we, originating the content, would ever see any traffic was unless someone wanted to comment . . . .
