RSSmeme Blog: Full Content Disabled

  • felix · 1 year ago
    It is definitely a delicate topic these days, I hope some reasonable guidelines appear for these situations that everyone - services and content providers alike - can live with. Without them, I think both sides suffer - services are left with a lesser offering and content providers lose valuable publicity and distributiong.

    I'm disappointed. One ignorant person who doesn't want free publicity is hurting a valuable service. Just like search, people can easily control how others see their feeds. Their lack of knowledge shouldn't be your fault. I hope full feeds can return, I always prefer them.

    I think you did the right thing being more safe than sorry. Obviously, some people are mis-interpreting the real aim and usefulness of RSSmeme, but that doesn't mean you can't get in trouble.

    My opinion is, your service would be just as useful to me if you just had headlines on the site itself, as long as the RSS ranking magic happened on the back end, and I got the unadulterated feed articles in Google Reader.
