Googlebase Criticisms

Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 at 8:05 PM (permalink)

Sam Ruby is doing a thorough review of the Googlebase data formats and he isn't happy about their feeds:

None of the complex types are valid RDF/XML, and therefore can't be used in RSS 1.0 --also personals and news are incomplete. None of the guids in the RSS 2.0 feeds are valid permalinks. ... People who propose extensions should try to validate them first.
