> Ben Hammersley: We've already chatted about James Linden's new RSSEngine project, and as he finalizes more details, he's discovered "proof" to his "quiet rants" about Radio Userland's RSS feeds.
[Content Syndication with XML and RSS]

I'm sorry that your glasses are half empty, mine is half full. While I agree that the quality of many RSS feeds could be improved, I do not choose to blame UserLand for something that is not their fault. Rather I thank them for providing wonderful tools, no matter how imperfect they may be.

The impetous to improve the quality of feeds is slearly on the individuals that produce them. If they don't, then their feeds will not be picked up by more particular applications. Radio can and does produce RSS feeds with Title and Link elements. It's simply a matter of how you use the software.   6:54:45 PM  Link  Google It!
