If you regularly read our RSS feed (http://feeds.smartphonethoughts.com/smartphonethoughts), you've no doubt already noticed this, but I wanted to make it official: we've switched to full-feed RSS. The full feeds are advertising supported, ideally (for me at least) showing one ad at the bottom of each feed item. That's not always the case mind you - quite often Feedburner is lacking advertisers, but the idea is that we're offering full feeds because they're subsidized by an advertisement. It's not hard to figure out, however, that a single small ad in an RSS feed doesn't pay the bills in the same way that several ads on the home page does - so my hope is that you'll continue to visit the homepage and maybe even click on the RSS ads now and then. ;-)

UPDATE: My, isn't this embarrassing. :oops: Our feeds are, at the moment, only partial. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but check the feed again tomorrow and they should be full feed.

That's great! I really hate truncated RSS feeds...or even worse...titles only like msmobiles. The reason is...when I'm viewing RSS on my phone...it usually means I'm not near a PC. But when I AM near a PC...surfing to full sites is still my method of choice.

Cudos (sp?) to you for offering full feeds. Hex to the others who only offer partial or worse, titles only! :)
