Is there going to be an XML / RSS feed for it? And how come Gawker never did a feed?

Posted by: Jeremy at October 1, 2003 01:35 PM

Gawker's always had a feed.

Hurrah hurrah hurrah! Congrats! If I sound overly enthusiastic it's due to the excessive amount of evening primrose I've just had to take to get over being flipped off by a midget.

Gawker always had a feed, but it was one of those annoying ones which only gave you the first 20 words and then forced you to visit the website to read the rest. (If you can read the whole thing on your RSS app, then you might not see the ads). Here's hoping The Kicker has a full RSS feed, complete with all the content.

I'm looking forward to it, and apologise for any inadvertent leaking earlier today.

Q: Are they going to let you maintain your personal blog?

My wretched newspaper flipped out when they noticed I had one.

Cool. Does this mean we get to see endless "Choire vs Liz" flame wars over at Gothamist?

I have coined a new buzzword: "Blorg".

Half Blog, Half Borg... it's basically a blog that takes over the life of its author.

Any blog that takes more than 20 hours a week to maintain (e.g. Gawker, Buzzmachine etc) would qualify. Though I understand 20 hours isn't considered much in some circles...

The Blog is dead. Long live the Blorg.
