I may start using DualFeeds sometime, when I get around to it.

I skim through a bucket load of entries and I find the summary feed better for this. I’m not reading them, I seeing whether I am going to spend any time reading them (if I do, I don’t mind opening the site in a new tab).

I used to only offer a summary feed on my site, but since I released the DualFeeds plugin for WordPress, I figured I better offer both full post and summary feeds. :)

SEO reasons aside for partial posts, how different is this from providing partial RSS feeds? In either case, the full post is a click away. Meanwhile, I don’t often hear folks stating that they will stop going to a site that displays partial posts…

I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, and I finally decided to go with full feeds.

I hate partial feeds and I always unsubscribe from them-what’s the point in being subscribed to something you can’t read? I invariably then forget to re-visit the blog and they lose another reader….

Partial feeds are bad, mmkay?
