Pulling support for RSS feeds from 43 Things, 43 People
I've noticed (thanks to Chris Messina) that feeds from 43 Things and 43 People are causing display problems in our mashups.

After looking at the feeds from 43, they are inserting blank items in their feeds when the user doesn't have enough content of their own. Our mashups are pulling in those blank items.

See Chris' screenshot for an example of what happens with a 43 People feed.

Also, Chris screen has revealed a minor display bug that is affecting Safari users. We will have that fixed right away.

I'll post an update once we get a workaround for the 43 Things and 43 People feed issue.
Comments:
This has been fixed. Added a patch to exclude any items that do not have both a title and link.
