New “full article” RSS edition

August 01st, 2003 | Category: looky

You know, RSS is kind of cool. But it is by nature a “reference-only” data structure. That is, the full articles posted are NOT in the RSS feed- only their URLs. In theory, this is to have a lightweight XML data structure go out to the client, with only articles that catch the user’s interest being downloaded in full.

In practice, this means that certain readers (like OS X NetNewsWire) only see the little excerpt part of the article. I honestly hadn’t noticed this, because I’ve been using FeedReader, which lets you load up the RSS URL in the content pane instead of the excerpt.

So, in the interest of accomodating the NNW folks, I have provided a “full article” feed below.
