matgb: (Cool)
I am ever so slightly in love with the Metro news web editor.
Quoth [livejournal.com profile] burge ina comment at [livejournal.com profile] tyrell's last week, and I'm inclined to agree. Why? Well, today's top weird story is Google: now searching for snakes about how they lost a snake in one of their offices. The story itself is merely amusing. The reason the edito is cool is because of the way they're writing the snippet text in the feeds, the bit that's normally an exerpt or summary of the story. Here's the article snippet:
Python gets loose in Googles offices. They want these motherf***ing snakes off this motherf***ing search engine.
Note, at no point does that text appear in the actual article.

[livejournal.com profile] metro_weird. Add it, if just to add amusement. Anyone fancy an emailing campaign thanking them for a job well done? Because good work doesn't get praised enough...

Hmm. Found this out while moderating a message. Couldn't resist, for those in Exeter that aren't necessarily on the YahooGroup, [livejournal.com profile] exegames_fd may be of use.

I just set it up, so the first time it updates it'll fill your friends page with 25 messages, but beyond that. Would've done one for SPDO as well, but they only work for groups with publically available messages.

Still, fairly useful mechanism, a cheap and dirty way of converting email and mailing lists to RSS feeds and even the LJ syndications. Of course, LJ syndication is patchy at best, ah well.
