Freakonomics: The Last Word (for Now) on Our RSS
Feed: An Excruciatingly Long and Boring Post That Will Please Exactly No One

post from Daring Fireball on 22 August 2007 04:10:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Actually, it pleased me greatly to read this, given that I’m thinking about and working through the exact same issues regarding offering full feeds here on DF. What happened is that the Freakonomics weblog used to offer full feeds, but since starting their partnership with The Times, now only has an excerpt feed. Regarding why they don’t just offer a full content feed with ads:

But the Times and its advertisers aren?t crazy about this option. (Nor are they alone, apparently.) Why? This is the fundamental point: many advertisers do not value feed readers as much as they value site readers, since they believe that feed readers are far harder to measure and track.

It’s certainly true that feed subscribers are harder to measure, but, I think this is shortsighted. Subscribers are readers who, by the act of subscribing to the feed, show themselves to be regular readers. I think that’s a valuable audience — and so far, [sponsors of the Daring Fireball feed][s] think so too.

Cleaning Out the Queue, August Edition

post from Mac Geekery - Get your geek on. on 22 August 2007 03:47:56 PM. © Mac Geekery - Get your geek on.

Welcome to yet another series of short answers. I’d write something larger but there are two factors preventing that:

The lack of time to actually write it, these days.
The lack of geeky questions in the queue to fuel my desire to slack off on real work and write something fun.

It’s not you, it’s both of us. It’s just not working out. However, I think with a little effort we can get this going again.

So, with that in mind, let us go forth in my effort to reduce the size of the queue in my search for something to write a long and heavy article about… There's more »
