> Unless you have tons of blogs you want to follow or a really slow internet connection, it seems simpler to just take a minute and check each blog site routinely Obviously I can only speak for myself but there's no way I'm going to do that. My feed aggregator (Feedbin) serves as my daily inbox of web content. From there and since many feeds are truncated I'll open specific articles that seem interesting to me. Truncation is fine, I understand that commercial sites need a way to get visitors. However not providing an RSS feed at all is a good way to miss out on my page view.
