Local newspapers using RSS
Posted Tuesday, August 2, 2005 at 4:17pm in Blogging |
While doing a little research at work, I noticed that a local newspaper in my area includes RSS feeds for its website. Pretty cool! Others are doing the same also. Let’s hope the rest follow.

Johnson Press (amazingly) was one of the first publishers to offer RSS feeds, although in a rather clunky way as the content on offer (at least for Yorkshire papers) is the start of each section and not each item. This means you might get a story and headline of no interest but half way through the feed is an interesting story.
I believe the whole concept of partial feeds is flawed, as one of the main benefits of RSS is that you can subscribe to and monitor more feeds than you can read (using watches/searches etc depending on what reader you use). Partial feeds stop you doing this so are simply very annoying (they also prevent me reading on my PDA). Now that you can include adverts in feeds there is little excuse not to offer full ones.
