Guardian World Cup RSS woe
I promise to try and not turn this blog into a drip-drip-drip of minor gripes about World Cup related sites over the next month....but...I can't help thinking that the Guardian would get more traffic to their World Cup blog if they included the right address for their RSS feed.
Or, if when their links generate 404 errors, the error reporting form you get given didn't insist on you narrowing down what you are reporting a fault on to a list that doesn't include the blogs.guardian.co.uk domain.

Day of the Triffids
If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?
With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.

>> tell us the feed address then you complaining twat
Erm, yeah, you see the reason I was being a complaining twat was exactly because the feed adress was the one piece of information I wasn't being given by the Guardian site...
