Since October 11, 2003 I've received 116 "As It Happens" News Alerts
from Google via email for the keyword "blog".
55 of them are from about.com expert guides updates that happen to be
running on MovableType and therefore find it necessary to include the
word "blog" in every single update they publish.
This has rendered my news alerts pretty much useless.
Wonder how long it will be before Orlowski picks this up and does his
Chicken Little impersonation.

Google News should be able to fix this easily - it's their fault, not about.com's. Google should not pick up the Blog Archives part at all. I'm still waiting for them to fix a glitch in the German edition: From one news site, they're taking the (completely unrelated) shop pictures and pasting them alongside the articles. Trackbacks
