…that NDTV.com, a leading news site can’t generate a valid RSS feed. It’s not that it’s temporarily broken. It’s been broken for months, maybe longer. I had even written to them pointing out the problems (yes, there’s more than one). Obviously, no reply. It is beyond me how anybody could provide an RSS feed without the link attribute.
In some feeds where the link is present, it’s completely broken. It’s seems to be some time bound thingy after which the link becomes invalid. It goes without saying that it doesn’t validate (as of today).
IBNLive recently changed their link format to make it more search engine friendly. After that change the links in the feeds were broken because of a small error. I wrote to inform them of the problem and it was fixed immediately. No reply in this case too, but atleast they fixed it. IBNLive seems to be paying more attention to their website at the moment and it’s showing…they’re kicking NDTV’s butt on the web.
Also very surprising that Yahoo! India News does not provide RSS feeds.
