RSS feed abuse?

Posted November 17, 2006 at 6:14 pm

Is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed by seeing the same article a gazillion times in a blog’s RSS feed…often without any clue as to what changed. I’ve just unsubscribed to MyDD after less than a week because that seems pretty rampant there. And there’s a diarist on Daily Kos whose articles appear 3, 4, or sometimes 5 times in their feed with no clue to any changes.

It’s not every article, so I don’t think it’s their feeds (or Bloglines). And I’ve got no objection to bloggers (like Glenn Greenwald) who make multiple updates to a post that are clearly marked.

Maybe I’m being a grump.

Now watch me have to correct *this* post and have it appear multiple times in my feed. That would be par for the course :).
