Well, that’s one metatag shot to heck
NBC’s Conan Farewell: Scrubbed From The Web, Studio Torn Apart | Online | Mediaite. Jeez, I did a lot of work getting the embed URLs for all of those Twitter Tracker segments and other materials I’ve linked to, and now NBC yanks them all. Now my Conan O’Brien tags in the tag cloud are needless.
