Aaarrrrgh!

So as an end user there really is no reason for you to know this but as many of you will know Mippin works using RSS feeds as a raw material.

We have over 12,500 feeds now in the system across a huge array of topics, languages and cultures. We also have a sophisticated alarm system so that we know when one is not working.

Today, has been a day of near-cardiac arrest as feed after feed appeared to be failing. We set the team to it and soon realised that we were falling hook, line and sinker for a classic April Fool. Aaarrrggghhh!

There is no denying it. You had us. But it is after 12 o'clock now so turn it back again!
