- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5note to majority of digg audience whose heads this will go over - turn sarcasm detector on before reading
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Stick advertising in your feed.. I'm gone.
Post too many updates... I'm gone.
Post too much personal crap... I'm gone.
Pimp out your friends (like I give a ***** about them or their sites).. I'm gone.
You're not going to get rich with your website. So stop being a whore and just clean up all the ads and ***** and run a good site and maintain your dignity. - davesawyer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I noticed the thick sarcasm, but is the article supposed to be interesting or funny?
- Xoligy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes you could, but could you really be bothered? With different sites varying in structure it becomes a bigger job than just writing original content. XML feeds make it as simple as pie.
- jameshales, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Unless you're blog is absolutely phenomenal, I don't want to visit it every day for updates. So I have my news aggregator tell me when there is an update and I decide whether I want to read it.
If your blog is absolutely phenomenal, I want to know within the hour when there is an update. So I have my news aggregator tell me when there is an update and I hop on over immediately.
Either way we both win, because I might forget to attend some days/weeks/months and I'll miss out on the good content and you'll be wondering if your counter is broken (..or not). News aggregators take the effort out of it, so providing a news feed is a valuable community service if your site is any good. - c0pperhead, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3RSS is crap!
Blogging is for losers.
Now that I have spouted my negativity for the day...
How is everyone doing? - staceyeileen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You already have a feed, actually. Good job!

Hate it when podcasts do the same... Because by the time the podcast is public and you are sitting there listening to it... At least a day, maybe 2 days have already passed. Who cares where you are. - PrettyBoyFloyd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3As a blogger who has notyet put an RSS feed on my blog http://armadillodreaming.blogspot.com, why should I?
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Why would you want to make your RSS feeds useless in the first place? RSS = Really Simple Syndication.
Just curious. - titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+210. don't use them at all.
- Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Rss does not stop me from visiting the site I subscribed to....so why would anyone do this?
- GibsonCRG, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4> is the article supposed to be interesting or funny?
I fear they weren't sure themselves, and it wound up being, well, neither! - 2L84ME, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Neither.
Edit: Damn you GibsonCRG, you got there before me! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4The stupid thing is, without RSS you could just have a bot like wget or lynx mirror sites. Heck, I wrote an information-miner script myself once that takes a search-phrase and chops through several dozens sites, throws away the garbage, saves the few paragraphs of content I was after, and presents them to me in plain text. All in under 100 lines.
Since last century, I've been saying "If you don't want the world to see it, don't put it online!" DUH! - DigitalDugan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1In the immortal words of Rodney King - "ouch, ow, ohh, stop it, ugh". Of course, this quote was some months before, "can't we all just get along?" I find some sarcasm inspiring, and some confusing. But then, I am inspired to be confused.
