Gizmodo’s RSS feed points to Fleshbot

9 Feb 2011

It looks like for some short amount of time this morning, one of my favorite site’s RSS feed pointed to Fleshbot.

$ curl -I gizmodo.net/index.xml
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:18:17 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) PHP/5.3.2 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
Location: http://feeds.gawker.com/fleshbot/full
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Pretty impressive. It appears to be fixed now, but what’s going on at Gawker? Passwords stolen, unusable redesign, reading feeds on my iPhone doesn’t work, now getting RSS feeds confused?

It may be time to just switch full time to Engadget.
