Well-meaning

L’Independent, a government-financed, ovine local rag, which has turned off its WP feeds and whose Feedburner URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/tu_codigo_feedburner. Sigh…

   Honestly.

   You can get a feed here: http://www.independent.cat/?feed=rss2

   …if you really want to.

   Bugger, I tried it back then this morning and it didn’t work. My apologies.

   Just had a look at one of their PDFs. It included an article about how the l’Independent’s website receives ‘more than 100 visitors each day’.

   It’s quite sweet, really.

   Not that all Spanish websites are quite so small-time.

   I figure that if we gave them about €3.65 a month they’d support any political cause we wanted. You can have April.

   Today the link to the phoney Feedburner feed has disappeared, and the footer has changed. L’Independent is on the move!

   Just how much subsidy do they get for their 100 hits a day?

   Well if they keep an eye on their stats, they will probably have noticed a ’spike’ of 10 visits from this very blog, and may have had the sense to check out what you were saying about them.

   I subscribed to it but have discovered that unfortunately it’s just damnably boring.

   Dear Independent,

   We hereby propose the following outline deal:

   * You pay us 90% of your subsidies and any other revenues, and say nice things about us to your funders and advertisers.
   * We will write and publish online and on paper an interesting newsletter targeted at your current audience which will increase readership by factor 5 within 12 months.

   Signed,

   The Guiri Mafia
