This is a great example of someone that, “Doesn’t get it.” By reading the complaint you’d think the author had no idea he published an RSS feed (he makes it sound like Bloglines was scraping his site and taking just his content).

I put in my RSS feed what I want RSS readers (either in a desktop, mobile or web based environment) to see. For me this is a full text feed with targeted Overture ads. In the past it was a summary post.

I am assuming the blog in question had quite a few subscribers in Bloglines since it was the 2,290th site scanned by BL (ProBlogger is # 534,497). He just lost those readers.

I use Bloglines exclusively as my RSS aggregator. Using a web-based tool lets me use any of the four computers in my house, my office computer, or any computer I come across in my travels, to check on the blogs I follow.

When I want to see something in its native format, I just click on the link for that site. I tend not to do that with Problogger much because the text is so small .
