RSSBetanews Alpha is now on RSS

If you've been wondering why you haven't been seeing Betanews Alpha posts on your RSS feed, well today, we've solved that little problem. Now you can subscribe to Alpha. Be sure to set your RSS feed reader of choice to include this address:
http://www.betanews.com/alpha/rss
You'll see our entire Alpha feed, from since we started the blog last week.
UPDATE You'll also notice we've added our Alpha stories into our main Betanews RSS feed, at http://www.betanews.com/rss
Please bring back the old design. This new web 2.0 "thing" is terrible...

|Alpha will contain a running account of what's new and interesting, and what's going on in our regular tests, on a more frequent basis. The main Betanews feed, meanwhile, will also contain our principal articles with original journalism, research, and analysis.

|Both feeds looked fine in Outlook 2007.

|Hmmm... the new link works, but so does the old one. What is BetaNews Alpha? The stories seem to be the same on both feeds...

|Indeed there is a problem with the feed.

Mobile telecommunications joint venture Sony Ericsson sold 6.6 million fewer phones in the fourth quarter of 2008 than it did the previous year, resulting in profits dropping from last year's €373 million to a loss of €73 million, a €446 million year over year decline.

|war593122, thanks to you and internetworld7 for reporting the problem. Yep, it was indeed the Euro in that Sony Ericsson story that was causing the problem. There should be no more blank feeds in the next few minutes or so.

|The feeds look really good in Safari 3. Unlike Firefox, Safari also shows any pictures or screenshots associated with each feed.
Unfortunately Firefox 3.1 beta 2 does not display your feeds. It is simply blank. Anyway, glad to know you guys now have feeds and please post more Apple and Mac feeds. :)
