Rolling Stone Announces More Five-Star Rated Albums And All I Got Was This Lousy Feed
Posted on November 25, 2008Want to know why the music business is broken? Look at how Rolling Stone Magazine mismanages its most prized asset: five-star reviews.

Amazon Commits Feed Malpractice
Posted on October 16, 2008More reasons to proofread your feed. I subscribe to Amazon's New Music Releases feed, but Amazon omits basic information from its feed, such as the name of the artist.
