An interesting read (albeit a month old), but it didn't take that long for him to turn the full feed back on - <a href="http://battellemedia.com/archives/2013/03/ive-turned-full-feeds-back-on.php" rel="nofollow">http://battellemedia.com/archives/2013/03/ive-turned-full-fe...</a>
I think full feeds is a waste of opportunity for content creators. I don't visit websites that offer full feeds unless to post comments.<p>However, the problem with short feeds is the poor execution of most of them. It's more complicated than a simple character count. Your RSS feed has to entice me to visit. Your CMS has to support short RSS feeds as a native feature or it won't work.
