Yourminis has also offered a similar feature for quite a while as well. Click on the edit drop-down and select "Edit Feed Settings." From there, you can enable showing the description inline and pick how many lines you want it to display.

Hi Matt,

that's a tough question. I think only time will tell. The main challenge that I see is that mainstream users (quote: "What's a feed?") and tech savvy users have very different requirements and while I think that start pages and feed readers make a perfect fit, the majority of users might not think so. Really hard to say what's right and what's not.

Cheers
Ole

Thanks for stopping by, Ole. I see that rolling over a headline pops up an abstract too - that's probably most efficient. Any take on feed reader/homepage combos? Will we see attempts at merging the two with more robust feed solutions?

Best,
Matt

Pageflakes offers that feature since October 2006. Simply click on the edit link of a RSS feed module and select "show description". I know it's not the exact same feature but the end result is the same. Hope you like it.

Best regards
