Naming names…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Geek News Central has a post about unsubscribing to a handful of feeds that are both partial feeds, and filled with Google Ads. He was nice enough not to name names but I’m sure that any of you who subscribe to said feeds (Cough, cough, Lockergnome, cough cough..)know exactly who he’s talking about. Seriously, with all the available tech feeds out there, why should I bother with one that only contains 3 lines of text and an ad in every post?

Update: Chris was kind enough to leave a comment and let me know that the ads are no longer on every item. That’s better.
