I was touching up my College Football website for the upcoming season and found out that there are some major publishers out there with invalid RSS feeds. “Who cares?”, you may say. Well those of us that are developing services using RSS as a platform DO care. I’m surprised Randy at The RSS Blog hasn’t been notified (although he has been now).
Well, here they are: NYTimes and ESPN. Those are what I have noted thus far (due to exception logic in GCF).
This is becoming all too much of a habit by publishers. If you are going to publish RSS feeds, please do us a favor and make sure they are valid!
