Why is RSS so useless


Recommended Posts

Posted

Why is it that all the RSS readers can do is get the first few lines or the title of an article? What I want is something that can download the actual content for offline reading. Anyone know of an app that does this?

Hi

I use SPB Insight and have found it downloads MOST feeds perfectly with a good chunk of text and pictures.

However, on some feeds it only has a few lines - does anyone know why? (an example is http://www.itv-f1.com/rss/latest/ )

Cheers

I've noticed that too, it seems like some sites just want you to visit the full webpage for the article.

Probably so they have higher viewing figures and can charge more for advertising, or am I too cynical?
