I was checking out Google's News Search API.  While it's fairly straight forward to implement, one thing I realized is that their samples show some rather poor code.  For instance, in the Google News Search "Hello World" example, you'll see that they create a node called "content".  After initializing the node, they never do anything with it.  I assume that the results returned from the news search would populate the "content" div section.

In another instance within the example, they put a float: left with a style attribute on one of the div tags.  That causes the news results to push out because they forget to clear it.  Also, it's kinda funny seeing them utilize a style attribute, which is bad coding style.  I suppose that the idea here is just a quick and dirty code sample, but I would've liked seeing Google hold themselves up to a higher standard, especially when showing examples.

Also, it would be nice if the APIs have some form of a comment section at the bottom.  No wonder Google has problems in the social realm!
