      Hopefully they are doing that so nobody will be able to put ads into RSS feeds. Why does everything in this world have to be polluted by ads! Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

                I completely agree that if an RSS feed is only syndicating summaries with a link through to the article on the website then no advert should be inserted into the feed. But many RSS feeds provide full posts/articles. I often go for weeks reading a website's content without ever visiting it, all through RSS. For those feeds advertising is needed to make it worthwhile. (Let us not get into the "Should you provide full-text or just summaries in your feeds?" discussion, please. :) ) regards, Paul Watson South Africa PMW Photography Gary Kirkham wrote: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the cliché...Star Trek had it in spades.

                    Indeed, but it is good to have choice. Pay nothing and have ads in your feeds. Subscribe and have no ads in your feeds. regards, Paul Watson South Africa PMW Photography Gary Kirkham wrote: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the cliché...Star Trek had it in spades.

If and when it happens, I hope that I have the choice to opt out of the ads for a subscription fee, Of course, I just noticed that the Unoffical Google web log current has a Google ad at the bottom of all their entries. So I guess that is RSS ads by the back-door. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

                          because its a conspiracy of web sites to scam the advertisers, who really think millions of people REALLY read there adds on-line and actually THINK that millions of people ACTUALLY CLICK on those ads. i pitty the advertisers who really think their getting theirs $$ worth. AKA legalized mofia, legalized raccetering. :suss:
