Validating the RSS Profile

It didn't take long for the RSS profile to brew up some controversy in the RSS community. FeedValidator.org is now issuing some warnings where the RSS profile is providing additional guidance. Todd Cochrane, in his usual demeanor, wrote a deceptive blog entry saying that the validator was now issuing ERRORs. Dave Winer jumped on the bandwagon. Clearly it's not issuing errors, but rather warnings. And it is also being very clear that the feeds are valid, even with the new warnings. Sam Ruby asked for some interpretations on how he should implement the profile recommendations in his validator. I hoped at first to ignore Sam, but I've received a few inquiries about my response. I will eventually respond, but I've been busy. It's great that we're talking, but don't be fooled by the deceptive politics from these three. We've been there before. We survived. Change is disruptive.

Wikipedia Industry
There appears to be several websites that seem to be allowed to link spam Wikipedia, even though the website have little-to-no value that couldn't be realized with a link to a more legit source. For instance, hockeydb has links on every NHL player's Wikipedia page. This site is basically a copy of the information available at NHL.com and other places, except that it has popups and ads all over the place. Quite often the same information is found on NHL.com and a redundant link is provided for both. Wikipedia editors have been going around deleting my links to legitimate sources for more than a year, yet for some reason others are allowed to link spam Wikipedia with low value pages full of popups and ads.

Really Simple Best Practices

For the last 18 months, Rogers Cadenhead has been guiding and editing the best practices for RSS document for publishers and consumers.
