Understandable: it is after all the MSNBC News NEWSBOT (beta). The notice is quite up front:
Dear Reader:
Our newsbot is an automated test scan of the Net's most current headlines and is designed to enhance the breadth of MSNBC.com. Your feedback is welcome. |

They are marketing their own flavour all wrapped up with an appearance of inclusion. Business as usual. Note: Unable to read story: registration requires too much personal information and a Privacy/User Agreement I find totally unacceptable.

That bugmenot.com is a fantastic idea - thanks for the link. Oh and hi all - WebmasterWorld newbie here - most useful forum I've ever read for ANY subject :) Sorry - not much of a first post I know.
