DateinaDash is on a distinguished road

  Old  Abusing RSS feeds, why we should abandon them!

I'm sick to my stomach at one particular website right now, http://www.w3reports.com used to offer press releases that actually meant something, were informative and offered something to communities. It seems as though people are just jumping on the bandwagon now promoting their own sites for free and w3reports are letting it happen.

Look at these news articles below, they're totally inaccurate and full of lies from the get go. I mean, some of the things that slip through the net are beyond me, do they even vet the articles?


Stephen John Barnes the director of Webmassive LLC announced the site named Web Design Base up for sale, Stephen John Barnes the director of Webmassive LLC says he is selling Web Design Base for further expansion of their new found success on the website named Quacked
This guy is 15 isn't he, now he's the director of "Webmassive LLC", do you think he has a board of directors? In his bedroom? I find it embarrasing and a real shame to the communities that are using this news feed. It's cheap plugs and totally uneducational material.

Take a look at this one then...

Only less than two months after it’s official opening on April 3rd 2005, SleekSkins.com has taken a good share of it’s industry
How inaccurate is that, it's just made up! They have only made a handful of skins, I hardly think they're closing in on extremepixels, vbskins, sheldon etc.

Sorry for the rant, but it drives me up the wall!
