New Picture

I have subscribed to the comments feed of Q8Nri.com and yesterday’s update had me chuckling a bit.

It was perhaps the first time I bothered to look at the way the feeds were titled. ‘Comment on Heroic auto driver foils attempted rape, gets stabbed by habi’. Who is Habi? The rapist or the stabber or the stabbing rapist?

Now I don’t know who Habi is, but I can assure you that he had nothing to do with the rape and/or stabbing incident (at least the above mentioned incident). All Habi did was comment on the news article posted on the website.

There would be no confusion about this if the feed was titled differently. A few suggestions:

  • Comment by Habi on Heroic auto driver foils attempted rape, gets stabbed.
  • Habi comments on – Heroic auto driver foils attempted rape, gets stabbed.
  • Comment on Heroic auto driver foils attempted rape, gets stabbed. (No need to put the name in the title)

Hey Jonyboy,

You wouldn't know if you haven't subscribed to the RSS feeds for the comments.

Now, everytime anyone leaves a comment on any news posted on q8nri, I get an update in my rss reader.

Assume there is a news headline - 'dog killed' and jonyboy leaves a comment, I get a feed update titled 'comment on dog killed by jonyboy'.

Do you get it now or still scratching your head?

Oh ok....now I got it.
