Posted by Lauren Drablier on October 30, 2008 at 9:37 AM
The Guardian has just moved from partial to full-text RSS feeds. According to the Google Blog, they are they first major newspaper in the world to do so. Publishing 2.0 believes that the Guardian is the "first media company to actually take RSS seriously" by making it something people want to use.
The feeds will include the full content from each article with embedded related links. However, there will be no images or cartoons. Advertising will be placed within each full-content feed.
Other mainstream media companies publish their RSS feeds as a brief title or caption from the article, which forces readers to go to the site to read the rest.
