The Full Text RSS Feed Campaign

If you are like me you will have a number of RSS feeds that you have added to an RSS reader, so that you can read all those articles in one place.  I find this really useful as I use Google Reader and have it synchronised on my phone, so when I go number 2 I can read about SEO and Seth Godin’s latest thoughts (bet you like that thought, don’t ya?)

But I have one major gripe, something which I think is a BIG mistake on the part of the blog owners – partial RSS feeds prevent me from reading and require me to click through on my phone, and to be honest – that just spoils the whole point of an RSS reader and an RSS feed.  So I just don’t subscribe.  I’ve recently started making comments on other blogs who I wish to follow, asking them to change their feed to a full one.  My latest one was after I found what looked like an excellent blog on public relations, you can see my comment here.

Does this piss you off too?  Please, if you run a blog, please please please enable full text RSS feeds and ask others to do the same! :)
