Dancing About Architecture: Microfeed for "More on Microfeeds" http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/001100.html Comments for the entry "More on Microfeeds" en-us Movable Type v3.21 eric@burningdoor.com http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss eric@burningdoor.com Tue, 08 Mar 2005 19:07:30 -06:00 This is a "Microfeed" that tracks the comments for one particular item on my blog. Comment from Randy Charles Morin One thing a few of us reader developers discussed was throttling a feed when it becomes dormant. This helps bandwidth, but doesn't unsub.

The responsibility should be the publishers. When he wants you to unsub, he should respond 410.

I wrote a bit about this in my RSS Feed State article. Just type rss feed state at Google to get a link.

Randy's right though: the provider replacing the microfeed with a 410 should prompt the aggregator to unsubscribe.
