G’day all. For the few subscribers who use an RSS feed to keep up with articles from Lythia.com and posts from the HârnForum, I’ve made some changes to the addresses of the feeds. You can find all the information on the About > RSS Feeds page, but the summary is that I’ve stopped using Feedburner for a couple of reasons.
The first and most important reason is that I don’t need to see who is following what. There are no commercial pressures on me to increase website revenue (there are none) or see who clicks on advertising space (again, there are none). Secondly, Feedburner seems to be just another way for Google to capture statistics on what people do on the Intertubes, and I’ll be damned if I’ll give them any more of my (or your) information if I can avoid it. So I’ll be killing off the Feedburner feeds in a couple of weeks, so make sure to visit the About > RSS Feeds page and update your feeds.
Beside, Google killed off their Reader, so they can just get stuffed as far as I’m concerned.
For those of you who do use an RSS feed aggregator for other reasons, the RSS feed from Lythia.com, and especially the Forum, is a great way to keep current. It would be nice if web-based RSS readers would put individual posts into threads, sorted oldest to newest, but we can’t have everything.
