Agile Business Navigator

I read lots of blogs via my RSS reader. Some I receive via email notification. Lately I've noticed that many of the RSS feeds and the email notifications no longer contain content. Just an irritating blurb that if I want to read the posting I have to visit the blog or website.

That's why I have my reader! So I don't have to visit. I understand the logic behind it. If I visit I will count as a visitor in your stats, I will see your advertisements, I will take a gander and your nifty products, etc. But I'm not gonna do it and you're just ticking me off. It reminds me of standing in the checkout line and seeing the magazines on the side rack. Dog gives birth to monkey. Britney has had enough of Kevin. I buy the magazine, open up the article and sure enough – its nothing like the cover says.

If you must include only partial content in your RSS feed, be nice enough to give me the intro to your article. Just telling me that its great isn't enough. Give me a sentence or two about the article. Entice me already.
