Full feeds away!

One of my biggest pet peeves when browsing through the wonderful group of blogs and podcasts on my google reader page is when a feed is not set to show the whole article. I mean, I understand that people are trying to drive you to their site for hits or ad reasons, but it still is annoying to have to click out of google reader to read something. Thanks to tabbed browsing, its not too bad, but still let's all show the full feeds!

Now there is some scientific reasoning behind show the full feeds. Ok, not scientific, but at least a valid reason. Leon Ho's blog posted an article about drawing more subscribers to your site, and guess what!? Full Feed instead of Partial Feed is the first idea!

A year of Cinekids

Another blog / podcast / vidcast that I work on is Cinekids. Cinekids is a video podcast were children review movies. The last new episode was way back in the beginning of November, but we are currently making plans for a new season and new format for the show. The cinekids show just turned a year old and what are the results of a year of movie reviews?

Pretty good results for just a year of a little vidcast! Going from just under 0 viewers to around 200 subscribers a day, Getting selected to be on Yahoo's The 9, Almost being on the now cancelled Megan Mullally show, and having fun while doing it. The kids reviewed their favorite movies, like Superman Returns and The Neverending Story. Thanks has to go out to a couple podcast programs though; we get a lot of subscribers from TVTonic and Democracy Internet TV!
