As a followup to this story, James, the manager of PlanetGS, recently decided all Slashgeo stories will be shown on Planet Geospatial. Thus, this Slashgeo's PlanetGS section is now obsolete until the wind changes direction! Update: 11/07 11:51 GMT by S :In case you wonder, this is the right RSS feed to use for Slashgeo, which encompass all main page stories. Sectional RSS feeds will only show stories from the specific section.

Slashgeo's Back On Planet Geospatial with an Improvement
[+]
Early last week, Slashgeo was removed from Planet Geospatial RSS feed aggregator in order to reduce the duplication stories on PlanetGS and respond to the complaints James received. I'm glad to announce Slashgeo is back on PlanetGS with this significant improvement: stories already featured on PlanetGS won't be shown on Slashgeo's PlanetGS RSS feed. Since slashcode has one RSS for every section (e.g. technology, industry, etc (full list)), I simply created a section for PlanetGS-friendly stories. From now on, Slashgeo will bring only "fresh" stories to PlanetGS. PlanetGS may not bring many readers to Slashgeo, but I feel it's important to keep Slashgeo connected to the whole geobloggers community.

Re:Erm
(Score:4, Informative)The SlashGeo team was nice enough to have a special Planet Geospatial RSS feed that only had original content so as not to cause problems. While I went along with this for a couple months, it just seemed silly to single out SlashGeo when there were so many other blogs doing the same thing so I secretly changed it back to the full feed. No one noticed for almost a week until Alexandre noticed some stories were showing up and let me know it reverted back to the old feed. That was good enough to show that only a small minority were being squeaky wheels and this issue is now put to rest.
Of course this must all seem crazy to most people why such small details are important, but with blogging people just get a little wacky sometimes. Personally I would think people enjoy seeing their posts being referenced on SlashGeo.org (not SlashGeo.com), but maybe I'm just a little crazy too.
