Yeah…duplicates are annoying.

I’ll just keep photos to a minim. Hopefully not sending all my photos to the blog will work out better as well.

But I really want to second mhatt. I have the same problem as he and Matt. E.g. I receive a lot of duplicates via the Artima Developer Buzz, because posts on the Buzz are posted to DZone which again posts to the Buzz.

I think that the software we use to read should be able to detect duplicates (e. g. by following prominent links in the case of DZone posts) and allow setting priorities as mhatt has suggested.

That said, I wish the google reader would realize when content has been duplicated across feeds and allow me to assign a default feed context | priority. So that, for example, I could tell it that Cote photos should show up in the D&R feed but not Flickr if they happen to exist in both.

Generally, I use Flickr for picture sets from events, or high quality shots. Spur of the moment pictures, bar snapshots, funny labels in supermarkets usually go to my photo blog.

Of course, if Flickr ‘is’ your photoblog, you have an interesting situation. Maybe you can only post pictures with a certain tag on your blog, and have the rest be posted only to Flickr.

I used to not care but now I’m in favor of photes in their own Flickr feed, since I’m getting triple posts (this feed, my flickr contacts + the raw flickr feed).
