Let's hope the Macalope family makes extra from comments. As if?

Seriously boss dudes and advertisers: feed subscribers make the most valuable audience. So says one of them, admittedly.

Restrict the feeds?

Can't you restrict the feeds to the first paragraph or so? I've seen that done on
other blogs. It's a nice way for readers to tell there's a new post and give them
an idea of the topic. You still get your clicks if your opening paragraph is
interesting enough. I suggest you refer to yourself as "the horned one" at least 2
times. That oughta get the clicks.

It could just be me, but I prefer the short posts in the feed. And plus I think you
should get paid for the effort you put in. Excellent job Macalope! :-)

Your subject needs to be at least 10 characters

I like to have full feeds because regardless of the size of the excerpt, there's
always a case where it's too short to decide if I want to read the article or not.

When the articles are longer that a couple of sentences, though, I always open
them in my browser to read them, so that makes a page view.

Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
