# Culling the Partial Text Feeds

There appears to be a meme beating its way around the chaos we call the blogosphere, that of culling out the partial text feeds in favour of the full text versions.
I usually check this out when I decide to subscribe. Bloglines will occasionally offer up a selection of feeds to choose from, and if given the choice, I always go with the full text.
Tonight, I began (alomost) mindlessly culling out the partial text feeds.

with Scoble (ugh...I hate saying that!) on this:

I know why partial text feeds exist. But I have AdBlock installed in Firefox, so even if I click through, you get no benefit. Turn on full feeds.
Do it. Now.
