Sweet, how about some FULL TEXT for the RSS feeds now too? Partial text is soooo 2004. ;)

I'm not sure we'll ever go to full text, just given the length of some of the articles, as well as complexity of layout, occasional embedded QuickTime, etc. But it's certainly something we'll talk about the pros and cons of.

Please, please, please - full text feeds. It isn't that complicated, really. And if you worry about counting your traffic you can use Feedburner.com to track your feeds.

Full Text feeds?!?!
Authored by: beanboyrjs on Jun 02, '05 09:47:54AM

I can see doubling or even tripling the length of the feeds, but the full text? If you want the full text of every article, there is a great feed called www.macosxhints.com .

Fulltext be nice but in lue of that how about we get the same length articles that appear on the front page. Then the experince is exactly the same as the website and requires one to click for the longer articles.

Which would mean I wouldnt have had to click to read the last 3 lnes of this tiny post :)

Maybe that a good reason to make people click!
