Rocco,
I too am interested to see what Android will bring to the table, but this post brings up another issue that I have been wondering about lately with regards to the "Thoughts" forums in general. I received this post in my RSS Feeds for Digital Home Thoughts, PocketPC Thoughts, SmartPhone Thoughts, and Zune Thoughts. Now interestingly enough when I clicked on each of the "View Article" links it brought me here to SmartPhone Thoughts. What I wanted to know is are you guys now cross-posting to all 4 sites with the link taking us back to the appropriate forum, is there something wrong with my RSS reader (I'm using Outlook 2007), or is there something wrong with your RSS feed?
I have noticed this pattern a lot lately and to be quite frank was seriously considering dropping all my feeds as I have been getting tired of reading the same posts over and over on each site. I signed up with all four as I do have an interest in topics specific to each area. I also realize at times it makes sense for some duplication especially between PocketPC and SmartPhone Thoughts. However, I am hard pressed to see what a mobile phone has to do with a Zune
Not trying to pick on you, it just so happened that I opened my reader this morning and saw a new post in all 4 feeds and they were all this one.
UPDATE:
After posting my response I noticed that this apparently was posted across all 4 sites as I see it in the "feeds list" at the top of the pages for the other sites. I don't know how others feel about this, but I would like to say to all of you on the Thoughts team please stop. I would much rather have no news than duplication across all 4 sites. Yes, I know I can just delete the duplicates, but it gets old, and lately I have been noticing this is happening a lot more. As I mentioned above, I follow each site for topics specific to them not to see the same article 4 times.
Thanks for considering this and thanks too for all the hard work you all put in on our behalf as I do appreciate it.
