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.

Darwinianweb scored 3 out of 12 on the Web 2.0 Validator. But then Techcrunch.com only scored a 4. Something is wrong with the methodology.
