Is this a good or bad idea?


CLICK HERE TO READ A FEW AGGREGATED POKER BLOGS

Hey,

In recent weeks, blogging activity has been hitting new highs with WWIII and WWIV. I've therefore been checking different blogs a lot more than usual.

All this would have been easier if I could check everything in one place, so I aggregated a few of my favourite Poker blogs into a page here using RSS.

Alas, the feed reader hasn't quite done what I want.

Firstly, it shows the full stories, rather than a teaser. This might annoy those bloggers who have adverts showing on their blogs.

Secondly, it leaves out images and videos. Juice is particularly fond of leaving images and videos along with his posts. And some of the spirit of his posts is lost in the purely textual version.

Finally, it doesn't show comments. WWIII and WWIV were fought via comments, and RSS doesn't capture this.

Anyway, if you're still speaking to me, please let me know what you think. Does listing the full story cause issues? And if I've left you out, would you like me to add you.

I'm thinking of writing an email alert/digest system, to periodically inform users, via email, when their favourite blogs have been updated.

I've written a script to squash the feeds. The aggregator now only display short teasers, rather than the full blog posts.

Do I get paid royalties for using my stuff?

No royalties I'm afraid, though I'll take your site off if you want.

If you want make advertising revenue from your feed, you can embed your own adverts into the feeds by going to Settings, and then Site Feed.

Hey Edge.

just wanted to say you made some good and valid points on my tai chi blog. As I said to Rosie I'm keeping my head down and not getting involved, bigger things to think about at the moment. Oh yer PokerMunk3y is Kenny so am I ;-)
