- Video Response 2.0 - Job applications were never like this

- Zoho CRM Enterprise Edition @ SMB Price| Zoli’s Blog - Zoho goes from strength to strength

Got something to say?
Dennis, your blog is only publishing partial feeds. I assume that is an error. The people most likely to link and bookmark (read drive traffic) dont have time to click through to read the content on the site.

@Tom - said it before but this is an experiment in how this blog evolves. If the people most likely to drive traffic (according to that logic) don’t have time to click through then they’re not going to link either, are they?

If the content is compelling they will share using Google reader. No-one will share a partial feed.
If the content is really good, as yours frequently is they will click through to comment or bookmark. They wont know that from a partial feed though.
Partial feeds only piss people off. RSS readers are not the audience you want to lose and you will lose them with partial feeds.
If you are worried about monetisation. RSS readers don’t click on ads anyway. Google traffic does. You need link love to get the Google traffic.

By the way, although I clicked the “Notify me of follow up comments via e-mail” I didn’t see your reply until I refreshed the page.
You might want to check the status of that plugin.

@Tom - you’re the only person complaining though I can think of 2 more. Fact is that RSS readers are climbing close to 10% per week. Who’s right here? If you believe in a distro model long term then maybe you’re wrong. We all have decisions to take, This is mine right now. It may not please you but respect those it does?

I do respect you enormously Dennis and love reading your blog. However, I do all my reading in my RSS reader.
For now I have VERY reluctantly unsubbed from your blog.
Please let me know if you change your policy and I will re-sub immediately.
Btw, still not getting emails of follow-up comments Dennis despite it telling me that I am subscribed to this entry
Thanks.
