RSS Subscribers: VTOR RSS feed migrated from Feedburner to Google

We have migrated the VTOR RSS feed from Feedburner to Google. Some bloggers are reporting this is compulsory and receiving emails to that effect, but we haven’t received any notification of this yet. Here’s the new URL:

http://feedproxy.google.com/Vtor-VirtualToReality

This remains a full text RSS feed, although when you look at it directly from the browser it is only showing partial feed. If you look at the source code you’ll see it’s a full text feed meaning that everything you see in this post with some mild exceptions like iframes and script embeds you’ll see in the RSS feed.

For 30 days the older Feedburner feed will redirect, but you might want to update now. Another change we’re doing which you will notice is Google Adsense ads now appearing in the RSS feed.

We are only doing this experimentally for 60 days and then our group will review the stats to see if this is worth continuing.

In December these ads will appear below the title and post body (see example above) and in January 2009 they’ll be moved above the post content and below the title.

It’s this author’s opinion that it’s not worth doing but since we’ve never tried this in the VTOR RSS feed we don’t know for certain. You are welcome to use the comments below to share your comments on how you feel about this experiment.
