Wordpress.com gets Enhanced Feeds
If you are a Wordpress.com blogger, then you have many reasons to rejoice this festive season, and the feeds on Wordpress.com have received a major upgrade. And Ofcourse that latest addition from Automattic is Enhanced Feeds that has for long been associated with Feedburner. Read on to find out what these Enhanced Feeds really are,
Up until now your feed has been fairly basic. All you got in most aggregators was the post title and the content. Simple to navigate and read, but it left you with so many questions. How do I add this post to del.icio.us? How do I Digg it and has it been Dugg already? I wonder how many comments have been left?
Wonder no longer. Today, your WordPress.com feed can be supercharged with the following fine feed widgets:
1. Comment Count
2. Categories
3. Tags
4. “Add to Del.icio.us” link
5. “Digg it!” link
6. “Stumble it!” linkComment Count is turned on by default but you can switch all the features on or off as you please.
This is a great addition to Wordpress.com for sure, as there are loads of Bloggers on Wordpress who’ll benefit from this addition. Hopefully this new feature will increase the interaction with the feeds on Wordpress… Have a look at the WordPress.com blog for more details.

Can’t we do this already with FeedBurner’s FeedFlares? C’mon WordPress, so us something which can really make us jump on our feet.

@Thilak, Yes it can be done with Feedflares, but most Wordpress.com users don’t use Feedburner, and this addition brings a lot of value to them in my opinion..
