Hi,
I am new to RSS,have been reading a lot about it's benefits and is convinced that this is the way to go. Please clarify
1. Why use partial feeds for rss ? If someone can steal full feeds they can steal partial feeds as well? or am i missing a point.
Thanks in advance

I recently attended a live chat session with the Google webmaster team and here's what they said:
If your blog content is syndicated via RSS feds, Google can distinguish original articles from syndicated content if they have a link back to your site.
You can read the full summary here.
If you can modify your full RSS feeds to include a link to your original blog article, the people who republish your full feeds are actually helping you because Google will have no trouble recognizing the source.
And your regular readers will love full feeds much more than partial feeds.
Hi Amit,
I didn't know that reply would be so fast. Great forum. Thanks a lot !
I got the point about the importance of full feeds. Will you please clarify how using partial feeds prevent someone from stealing content. I am interested in knowing this.
Thanks
Hi Amit,
Please help.
Google reader is displaying an item like this -
@C Name of the company.
But such text don't exist anywhere in the blog. Then from where it is coming.
I am using feedburner.
Thanks

@seoug,
Giving partial feeds may not prevent theft of your posts.When someone can see partial feeds,he can directly visit your site and copy the whole content as well.Doesn't it make sense?
I prefer giving away full feeds.
