Thanks to Dave’s 30th Blog birthday, I poked around a few of his services again. Like Feedland. I wrote about it in the past but to be honest, I haven’t used it that much. So when clicking around, I found out Feedland now comes with its own linkblogging tool. So you can repost interesting posts from others to your own feed, including your own commentary. But here’s the fun part.

It has no website.

Well, at least, I couldn’t find it at first glance. There is this page with some basic information and you can see it within Feedland’s reader. Or use your own feedreader of course, with this RSS feed.

When I load the feed in my FreshRSS reader, the results vary. I edited a few linkblogs to give them a title and a short description. These load fine in FreshRSS. It’s still a bit of a guess to click on the title in the feed to load the linked article. So when there is no title, you just see the URL of Feedland, which actually leads to the original, linked article. To be honest, this is confusing.

I hope you’re stil with me here. I know it’s hard to follow, so just try it out for yourself. I will link to this exact post and not include a title or description of my own. Load this feed URL in your feedreader and let me know how it works for you. Does it make sense?

Maybe I can load the feed into this blog somehow? I don’t know…
