Liberal Talk Radio

Happy to be back in Seattle, after a wonderful visit to the East Coast.

So I’ve finally woken up and smelled the syndication. That is, I got an RSS reader and I’ve started reading blogs and news via RSS instead of via the web. As a Mac user, I’m using NetNewsWire Lite, which seems to be the most full-featured of the bunch. I’ll probably upgrade to the paid version soon.

If you’re reading us via RSS, then you’ve no doubt noticed that last week the RSS experience increased notably. I changed the RSS 2.0 feed ( http://brunoandtheprofessor.com/index.xml ) to include the entire blog post, instead of just an excerpt. Hope this helps you get more Bruno and the Prof in your life.

RSS is very cool. Unfortunately, it means you never have to visit a blogger’s site, which robs them of ad revenue. Fine for us, but not so great for big-time bloggers who rely on the revenue stream from ads. Those guys tend to put only excerpts of their blog posts in the feed, so you still have to go to the site to “read the whole thing,” as it were.

Anyway, feel free to send comments and suggestions my way.
