沒有 RSS Reader 的反思 @ 天佑的自由天地
by sidekick因為 RSS 的便利,漸漸地開始只閱讀提供 feed 的網站,沒有提供 feed 的就免問,而因為自己依賴 RSS reader 閱讀 feed 的關係,所以我是全文 feed 的支持者,而且漸漸開始討厭文章摘要 feed,這類 feed 在我的訂閱名單中亦慢慢一個一個的被刪除,當然有些人會認為內容並不是全部,網頁設計亦是重要的一環,所以提供文章摘要 feed 的目的是要令讀者到訪網站,觀賞網頁設計、增加 hit rate 甚至希望到訪者 click 那些網頁廣告,但我個人就不太認同這種想法。
要令人到訪自己的網站,何不以文章的內容來吸引讀者?現時 blog 傳遞消息的速度是很快的,從早前的「怪癖」blog tag game 就可見一斑,有好的內容自然會有人幫你宣揚開去,不要吝嗇你的全文 feed 吧!

More than 200 thousand gamers, roughly a quarter of which actually paid, are currently wearing out their thumbs and roundly cursing one man, whether they know his name or not. That man is Stephen Cakebread, the designer and developer who crafted this gem for Bizarre Creations.

by bcpbcpWhat is a game, at its simplest, but an interactive challenge with a goal? Let’s go one better, and say a game — this game at least — takes skill, and that that necessary skill-level, along with the game itself, gets higher/faster/harder as the game continues, until it finally culminates in one last explosive battle.
