Whatever They’re Blogging About, I Don’t Want It On MY Feed
Client: “I just wrote my first post on the blog you made for us. Can you publish it to all RSS feeds?”
Me: “Do you mean to publish it to your RSS feed? Because that happens automatically.”
Client: “No, I mean all RSS feeds. Like every one on the Internet.”
Me: “That’s not possible.”
Client: “Yes, it is. I read an article about how RSS is the equivalent of newspapers on the Internet, so if I post something, everyone on the Internet should see it, just like everyone reading a newspaper would see the front page.”
Me: “Er… that’s not really true. That’s not how RSS works.”
Client: “Well then, this whole ‘blog’ thing isn’t what I paid you to do, is it?”
