Let's face it. Robots are awesome.

Meet Roboblogger.

Roboblogger is a Topix editor's best pal. He lives to serve. He posts news stories. He keeps an eye on your page and covers for you when you're on vacation. Frankly, he does most of the work for you, scouring the web for relevant stories with his glowing red eyes, and filling in the forms automatically when you post stories to your page. Cool, right?

Robots may be awesome, but in the battle of Roboblogger vs. Topix Editor, you humans will always be victorious.

Why? To start, your eyes aren't red or glowing. We hope. But you can catch errors and fine tune the formatting of a story with a human touch no robot can match.

When you choose Post to News in the Wire or send Topix out to crawl a news story on an external web page, Roboblogger does his best to format everything properly for you. However, sometimes extra or incorrect content may be added to the Headline field, such as a partial URL or the name of the originating website.

For example, you might end up with this headline:

C3P0 Receives Lifetime Achievement Award www.robotdailytimesonline.com

Or:

Robot Daily Times Online C3P0 Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Since a link to the story crediting the source will be provided for the reader in the Summary, a cleaner headline would be simply:

C3P0 Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

You might also find the Summary field populated with the caption from a photo from the originating page or other confusing text, instead of a catchy snippet to entice visitors into reading the full article.

Please be sure to take a moment to show Roboblogger who's boss. Delete or polish up that incorrect formatting, leaving your page full of clean, concise headlines and summaries that will draw in your readers and keep them coming back for more.

Humans 1, Robots 0.
