Admin: duplicate items in feeds and FeedBurner

By My status Jaanus on August 11, 2006 in Sharing tools news.

Today, we made configuration changes to how the feeds are generated out of all the Skype blogs (see the list in the right sidebar). You may see the recent items appearing twice in your feed reader program or service. I am sorry for the confusion -- it is a one-time change only and was needed to make our feeds work better. There are some improvements now as well -- some feeds did not show the author name previously, but do now.

Also, if you are reading the feeds directly using the RSS or ATOM feeds provided off this site (feed name index.xml or atom.xml), I encourage you to switch over to FeedBurner feed. You will find the FeedBurner feed links in the right sidebar of the respective blog. These feeds give you more features such as author names and always fulltext feeds, also look fine in a regular browser, as well as enable us to fine-tune the feed experience and accurate statistics.

When subscribing with Bloglines, the direct feed links and the Feedburner links are provided. But IMO most people use the direct links:
- They appear first;
- They seem more reliable (one 3rd party less);
- Feedburner has been associated with allowing to add ads to feeds;

... while for the Linux blog only the Feedburner link is provided, and for the French blog, Feedburner and atom links are the only ones.
