State of Autodiscovery

August 18, 2005 in aggregation, feedster, search, syndication

Sam Ruby was smart enough to look at the State of Autodiscovery in the Feedster Top 500:

20% do not have autodiscovery 30% have autodiscovery, and top500 is tracking the preferred feed 10% have multiple autodiscovery links, but the top500 is tracking a feed other than one the site author prefers 40% have autodiscovery, but the top500 is tracking a feed that is not listed 0.4% appear to be defunct I’m not yet certain what this all means.

All it really seems to mean is that Feedster is doing a bad job at tracking the right feed.
