Javablogs appears to be brokenFebruary 15th, 2004 Often the popular listings of javablogs appeared suspect to me as many times I could see the same listings on top for days, whereas newer listings with higher view count didn't make the list. However it was just a feeling from reading entries from both start page and most popular page.

RSS2.0 has a GUID element for this very reason.

I provide RSS 2.0 feed to JavaBlogs and it includes the GUID.
However JavaBlogs doesn’t use it apparently!
So lets blame it solely on JavaBlogs

Having written that part of the Javablogs code myself, I can assure you it does. Here is a post from your blog with seemingly mutating GUIDs:
javablogs=> select title,guid from blog_entry where blog = 12713 and title like ‘Better Eye%’;
title | guid

My analysis of the actual problem with JavaBlogs Aggregator
A technical analysis of the duplicate post problem in JavaBlogs….

Dear Charles Miller,
Thanks for getting in touch. What you have spotted here is not a problem. In fact there are two different posts on the same topic. However in one case there is a duplication because blogger.com switched to providing individual page per post. So far so good.
The problems I am facing is elsewhere and with a different blog - blog.taragana.com.
Because of the length of the topic I have posted the details here.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the issue.
