Mercury News Unclear on RSS Concept

The San Jose Mercury News launched a series of blogs recently, including a gaming blog from writers Dean Takahashi and Mike Antonucci. Whether you agree with their game opinions or not, the blog is interesting.

However, if you try to subscribe to the gaming blog RSS [WikiPedia] feed… well, you can't, unless you want to read every blog entry for the whole newspaper. Apparently, the Merc is using FeedBurner to serve all of their new blog feeds, and they only serve a single RSS feed that includes every single one of their blogs. I find it amazing that the newspaper at the heart of Silicon Valley can't figure out how to split up RSS feeds on a per-topic basis. Get a clue, Merc, that's the point of RSS.
