Okay, it was very funny<\/a> that a blogger by the name of Dana Blankenhorn (who we’ve seen before<\/a>) attributed Why Google Is Faltering on RSS<\/a> and that “Google needs to bring in someone with a Clue.” He had no “Clue” himself that the person he was trying to roast left the company half a year ago<\/a> and he’s now doing cool things with Odeo<\/a>. Now it’s not worth mentioning or even surprising that someone made a false assumption and came to a silly conclusion because of it. What is interesting is how Corante’s response to the entry, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

As it stands<\/a> the entry is inarguably factually inaccurate, yet only the comments point to that. Dana has not responded to the comments or updated the entry, even though he had time to write 8 more entries that day<\/a>. It may seem obvious to you and I that the entry is wrong, but not everyone<\/a> and the entry is still gathering links<\/a>. What’s more interesting is that entry has disappeared from the front page<\/strong>. (Screenshot of where it should be here<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

Corante claims to be<\/a> “a trusted, unbiased source on technology, science and business that’s authored by highly respected thinkers, commentators and journalists; read by many of the sector’s top entrepreneurs, executives, funders and followers; and is helping to lead the emergence of blogging as an influential and important form of reportage, analysis and commentary.” They’re not helping blogging or their trust by leaving that entry up un-corrected and covering it up by taking it off the front page.<\/p>\n

Update: Jason notes that<\/a> the entry was deleted in MT, just not removed from the filesystem.<\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
