ninemsn urls a mess

ninemsn.com.au is part of a global media empire for the masses, as well as being one of Australia's largest news sites.

With finances larger than most others, ninemsn is still not able to produce a quality page without repeated urls. The example in the above illustration is NOT an isolated example but rather an indication of sloppy I.T. skills.

The illustration shows:

Obama to appear on The Daily Show
Obama to appear on The Daily Show
Tom Bosley, Mr C on 'Happy Days,' dies
Ron Howard tribute to Happy Days dad

in essence 2 stories taking up 4 urls.

What other ways is there to keep the masses amused.

This is not a matter of an excuse for such inadequate programming, but rather the apethy of the company.

The doubling up of urls is also frequently repeated on the ninemsn mobile site.
