RSS feed in iGoogle

Hi!

I have LQ feed as a "widget" in my iGoogle page. I was wondering if the section for member introduction should be removed from the feed, since only a maximum number of entries can be viewed and it is not very productive to see all of it filled with "hi" messages.

What do you think?

yes that probably makes sense, there's certainly a good number of precedents for that level of detail. What feed do you use here? I find that forums generally make for bad RSS feed material as their status changes so much over time... i.e. a "zero reply" feed is only really worth using for a few minutes, after which someone may well have replied, invalidating it's presence, even though it's now in your list of feeds regardless.

well if you use rss feeds at all i'd suggest aggregating the#m via Google Read or similar, and then embed that in iGoogle.
