A del.icio.us Poll

I’ve had a couple of requests to not include my daily del.icio.us links in this blog’s feed.



Would you prefer links or no links? Please vote via comment.

I like having the links in the feed. I prefer having them delivered in digest format, and don't really want to keep multiple RSS subscriptions fr everyone I know.

No links. Although I am probably in the minority of your readership, in that I do not read your blog for any Ruby content.

I like them included in your feed (which I just recently subscribed to). Since you already use feedburner, perhaps set up a second feedburner feed for posts without the del.icio.us links, and leave the current one the same?

I don't really care about the nerd stuff, and since that's like 95% of what your links are, I wouldn't exactly miss them.

Personally, I try to avoid mashing feeds together. I don't want to force people to read something. I'd rather present all the options and let them choose. Let the people choose which of your content they want to follow.

John's got a point. Bill's solution is probably the best one, and shouldn't be too hard to implement (although who knows what blogging platform you're currently on -- I can't keep track!).

Please keep your delicious links in the RSS. You're interests seem to match 80% to mine and that's a pretty cool + easy way to regulary get interesting input for me :))

Hi Alex - personally I'd rather have the feed without the links. I read feeds through an aggregator with only 5 items on each, and if 3 of them are taken up with links, it makes me sad. I'd rather have e.g. your blog as one feed and your del.icio.us bookmarks as another, straight from the source. Like the blog though, and Bill's suggestion of providing feeds with and without is a good one.

Definitely keep the links. I've found lots of great stuff through them!
