In trying to sort out all this RSS/Pie/Necho/Echo stuff, I’ve posted some stream-of-consciousness questions. One of them had to do with how many weblogs I’m seeing that have a whole string of icons or links in the ”Syndicate” section of the sidebar. People are now doing all the various combinations and permutations – with comments, without, excerpts only, full posts, etc.

Danny at Formerly Echo, one of the new TypePad weblogs, picked up on my questions and has provided some updates. It seems that the ”ultimate answer” is not to have a string of little buttons showing all the different feeds. Rather, feed readers which perform ”auto-discovery” will apparently solve the problem. Theoretically, this means a weblog’s sidebar could be completely free of any indication of syndication!
