Really Simple Syndication is great. It's an easy way for me to grab content from a whole bunch of different places and put it in one place. I can read things from more websites than I could possibly remember to visit every day. My RSS reader is always a good way to waste a half-hour or two (I get around 150 articles a day coming in from 125 ( Read more... )

... that you can just rename a feed in Google Reader?

Re: Im sure you know... nornagon June 30 2008, 02:39:51 UTC

Yes, of course. That doesn't assuage the other issues, and it is also a band-aid solution. Most feeds with stupid names like that also exhibit the other stupidities I've mentioned. Plus, I have more than once failed to notice that a feed is badly named when subscribing to it, only to discover several days later when the next post arrives that I've forgotten what the blog was about.

I'd quote https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=20012 as evidence that google have figured something out... but the fact that it's been in beta since 2005 would be dragged up as a counterpoint, so it would be a waste of time.

Google does own Feedburner though, which has the Feedburner Ad Network - that was a going concern before Google bought them though.

Then there's http://publisher.yahoo.com/sell/ContentMatch.php?loc=USYPN0005, the yahoo publisher netwo.. wait, you said google...

Yeah, but I think you can turn it off somewhere.
