If you read this blog in an RSS reader, you'll only see excerpts now, with a headline link to the post. The company wants you to visit the site.
I hope you'll find it worth your while to click those links, and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
Full or partial feeds, feeds with ads, clickthrough rates on partial feeds -- all have consumed lots of bandwidth across the blogosphere. Maybe some bloggers -- influencers -- reading dozens of feeds daily will no longer take the time to click through to the full post, and will no longer point here.
I hope not, but there's nothing I can do about that.
This is making me rethink how I blog. If I lead with a photo, the caption could be the entire excerpt. If I write a "soft" lead and the "nut 'graph" is down aways, I could mislead you.
On those days I toss out a pile of links, do I try to fit the jist into 40 words, an RSS haiku?
Much to think about.
