When you hear the words “jam-packed” and “co-branded” in a press release describing a website, first thing you smell is the panicky fear. The second is the javascript errors.

    The link to Vancouver Now on cbc.ca sports now links to http://nationalpost.cbc.ca/olympics.

    And that page says:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /olympics on this server.

    This is a real mindblower. If seeing that subdomain

    nationalpost.cbc.ca

    isn’t fried enough, all those bitchen interactives come from the NYT!

    Does that mean they count as CBC content in light of how much CBC.ca talent they poached?

    Merry UX-Mas to all my Manhattan hosers!

    Adding the NYT stuff was probably the least painful part of the process.

    Content sharing, I think the business brains call it.

    Any producers or writers or CMG members give a crap?

    And CBC wants rent for posting, or re-posting their stories
    See little line at top of stories
    “New licensing option: POST all or part of this article on a web site, intranet or blog. ”

    Which leads to :
    See
    http://license.icopyright.net/rights/postServiceGroup.act?tag=3.8471%3ficx_id=/2010/01/26/consumer-home-affordability.html

    1 month CAD125.00, 2 – 3 months CAD175.00

    Best of luck.

None of these things are mandatory, besides the comment itself.
However, before pressing send, read it out loud to yourself. What would your mother think of that?
