		<title>Degraded Authors who Blame Others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Consider terms such as degrading and offensive. We at Finding Fault think these words describe subjective feelings and opinions, and should be acknowledged to do so. But many authors will not take the responsibility of owning their own opinions. Instead, they want somebody else to take the responsibility. We have seen this problem often, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wolfram&#124;Alpha Minor Failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can find bad web design all over the Internet. We usually ignore it because we don&#8217;t want to look like we spend all our time just finding fault.1 But also, a lot of bad web design comes from inconsequential and badly-run companies that come and go, so if you just wait a little, they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disingenuous Blogger Misrepresents Bartz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A well-known blogger tries to make a point but has trouble doing it without using misrepresentation.1 Here is the first paragraph from that Writer&#8217;s article: The New York Times has an interview out with Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz where she declares that Yahoo has “never been a search company.” Astounding, in that that[sic] this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>SEC Filings and Hyperactive Bloggers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Give a blogger an opportunity to get a few more hits, and common sense goes out the window. Instead of recognizing these risk factors for what they are---essentially CYA for company management---bloggers get all hyperactive instead.]]></description>

		<title>Correlation versus Causation versus Blogging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A famous blogger argues1 that allegedly bad PR doesn&#8217;t pay as well as allegedly good PR. The proof takes the form of a chart2 showing that a web-based service called Wordnik,3 which supposedly does allegedly bad PR, is getting only limited web traffic, while a different web-based service called Topsy,4 which supposedly does allegedly good [...]]]></description>

		<title>AP Dumb, Bloggers Dumber</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Associated Press (AP) has acquired a reputation for doing marginally dumb things. For example, AP will let you use four words from its copyrighted content at no charge, but quoting five words will cost you a fair amount of money ($12.50 in our example) if for profit. But before we rush to judgment about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mindless Blogging with No Local Storage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been reading about a web browser-based tablet computing device called a CrunchPad. As first announced a year ago,1 it was supposed to have Wi-Fi, half gigabyte of RAM, and a 4-gigabyte solid state hard drive and Google&#8217;s Gears for offline storage of web data such as documents and email.

		<title>Journalism versus Blogging (and Antitrust)</title>

		<title>Bing vs Bloggers, Bing Winning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft&#8217;s announcement of its &#8220;Bing&#8221; search engine was a dream come true for many bloggers. Content at last! Finally, something useful to write about! Finding Fault has been observing the feeding frenzy.1 Mostly, the bloggers do one or two searches, and get a screenshot or two to drive traffic to their blog, as if nobody [...]]]></description>
