san’”;’”itize your “html” & ’sql’

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I recently submitted a video to digg. It’s nothing serious, but it’s seriously funny :). It’s about some Bulgarian idol wannabe that’s singing an English song in Bulgarian. You’ve got to see it.

To my surprised, as I submitted my story, the title got chopped of. It was supposed to be:

Mariah Carey’s “Ken Lee”, a new idol favorite

However, digg chopped it off to be just:

Mariah Carey’s

I know digg engineers are not strangers to the sanitizing html and sql problems. I think the issue rose from the fact that I used both single quote and double quote in the title.

It’s just a little reminder how difficult (because it’s easy to overlook) these issues are. It really turn out to be a very serious problem, as described in Exploid of a mom.

The Age of Hyper-syndication ?

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Just a few minutes ago I was reading an article from CNNMoney.com on the volatility of some stock.

The article was quite interesting, but what caught my eyes was… the footer.

The article was published on 03/31/08, based on the original article (yet to be) published on 04/01/08 ?! (look at the footer)…

I know that we are now syndicating anything and everything. And that’s really the premise behind buzzoo.net. But are we now syndicating stories from the future too??
