RSS Feeds / Snippet Length

Matt Jan 27, 2012 12:58PM EST

Hi guys,

Quick question re RSS feeds and snippet length.

I see that it is possible to import an OPML file containing our RSS feeds into CurationSoft. If the individual feeds show the full content of the article rather than just a snippet does CurationSoft 'see' the full article or is it truncated?

I'm watching the videos and see fairly truncated snippets - in an earlier question Jack said this was down to the source of the content, so I assume if the feed from a site is the full feed rather than a snippet we should see this in CurationSoft?

Is this correct?

Cheers,
Matt

Hey Matt,

We only show snippets everywhere in the software including RSS feeds. This is intentional so people don't copy full articles and getting consistency with full pages would be nearly impossible.

Thanks for the reply Brandon.

Is this something that might be looked at in the future?

I've got a ton of great RSS feeds to draw content from but unfortunately the content that I really want to comment about and 'mash together' with other content is often in the middle / towards the end of the article.

It would be really nice to be able to open up the feeds and then highlight and drag over the content that I would like to use rather than simply the first couple of paragraphs.

Is this something that might be looked at for a future upgrade?

Cheers,
Matt
