For the following title, the title is misparsed as moshimonsters.jpg from
the <media:title type="html">moshimonsters.jpg</media:title> tag.

Instead the title should be parsed as Three Virtual Worlds from Europe
Worth Watching from <title>Three Virtual Worlds from Europe Worth
Watching</title>.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img

alt="moshimonsters.jpg" align="left" />London - I&#8217;m still recovering
from the jet lag and energy of last week&#8217;s <a
href="http://virtualworldsforum.com/">Virtual Worlds Forum</a>, where I
moderated a couple panels, but managed to cobble together some notes from
the inaugural conference/trade show.  Incongruously (but very coolly) held
in a cavernous, velvet wallpaper-lined, Victorian-era building that&#8217;s
since been converted into a nightclub/roller skating rink (!), it was a
fascinating complement to the unaffiliated <a
href="http://www.virtualworlds2007.com/">Virtual Worlds Conference</a> in
San Jose earlier this month.</p>

<p>Even across the Atlantic, you get the same sense of a mini dot com boom
in virtual worlds, and the explosion of start-ups mainly looking to
capitalize on the success of Second Life on the one hand (3D, open-ended
spaces for adults) or <a
href="http://gigaom.com/2007/09/08/howhabbo-hotel-got-this-big/">Habbo
Hotel</a> (2D, controlled environments for kids) on the other&#8211; 
either as would-be competitor, middleware technology provider, or
third-party marketing/services firm serving the existing market.</p>

<p>Since it&#8217;s based in Europe, however, the VWF gave me a chance to
glimpse promising, EU-centric MMOs that will probably take extra time to
reach the States:</p>

<p><strong>- MoiPal: Tamagotchi-esque MMO for cellphones </strong></p>

<p>There&#8217;s been a relative dearth of virtual worlds centered around
mobile phone networks, surprisingly enough, but <a
href="http://moipal.com/index.jsp">MoiPal</a> from Finland&#8217;s <a
href="http://ironstarhelsinki.com/">Iron Star Helsinki</a> is looking to
fill that opening.  Founder Joakim Achren gave a quick tour of MoiPal on
one of my panels: basically, you create and foster an avatar who exists
<em>in</em> your phone, and you send it out to accomplish tasks and
interact with other avatars while you&#8217;re offline, then check updates
at the game&#8217;s website&#8211; a clever integration of mobile
functionality with asynchronous play.</p>

<p><strong>- Papermint: MMO for hip girls</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://www.avaloop.com/sites/papermint/papermint.html">From
Austrian-based Avaloop</a>, Papermint is now being localized to English,
offering <a href="http://www.papermint.at/">a social world that&#8217;s
been visualized with a quirky, hip flair</a>.  (Think <a
href="http://gigaom.com/2007/04/30/zwinky-joins-the-virtual-world-for-kids-gold-
rush/">Zwinky</a>
for cool kids and thanks to its look, perhaps an even larger fanbase of
older players.)  It was presented at VWF by lead artist <a
href="http://www.avaloop.com/sites/company/team_lippe.html">Dr. Barbara
Lippe</a>, who with her cerebral background, pixie looks, and blue hair,
I&#8217;m hereby dubbing the Bjork of the virtual world industry.</p>

<p><strong>- Moshi Monsters: The next Webkinz-ish breakout?</strong></p>

<p>I was also impressed by <a href="http://www.moshimonsters.com/">Moshi
Monsters</a>, from the London studio behind last year&#8217;s innovative
alternative reality game <a
href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/02/02/more-on-perplex-city.html">Perplex
City</a>.  Like <a href="http://www.webkinz.com/">Webkinz</a>, <a
href="http://gigaom.com/2007/06/13/top-ten-most-popular-mmos/">the
kid-focused MMO that counts nearly 4 million active users</a>, you own a
physical analog of a virtual pet, but Moshi Monsters seems to come with
more customized controls and functionality, and the ugly-cute creatures
will probably attract a larger and slightly older crossover market of boys
and girls.</p>

<p>There were many other virtual worlds/MMOs I missed, and other tech demos
I&#8217;ll probably feature in future writing.  As is often the case,
indefatigably great game blogger Alice Taylor also has <a
href="http://www.wonderlandblog.com/wonderland/2007/10/a-few-thoughts-.html">an
imminently readable report from the scene</a>.</p>

This change doesn't change the model add media elements but it prevents titles 
in the
media namespace from clobbering the entry titles:

1190d1189
<     _start_media_title = _start_title
1200c1199,1204
<     _end_media_title = _end_title
---
> 
>     def _start_media_title(self, attrsT):
>         pass
> 
>     def _end_media_title(self):
>         pass

This was fixed on Nov 1, and pulled into Venus at that time.

why is this marked as "fixed" when the bug remains in the current feedparser.py 
? 
what is "Venus" ?

Sam's patches for this bug are in the HEAD of the tree. I'm marking all the 
other 
bugs as duplicates of this one and re-opening this bug until people have had a 
chance 
to verify that their various bugs are fixed by this patch.

If you've found this bug because of one I marked as a duplicate please update 
this 
one with the status of your particular problem.

It would also be great if you could provide a feed and a testcase to 
demonstrate the 
problem you're seeing.

SVN's HEAD fixed this for me. Title is once again grabbed from the correct 
place.

I had this problem with wordpress blogs, using the current download 
(__version__ = 
"4.1"# + "$Revision: 1.92 $"[11:15] + "-cvs"), it is resolved in the latest 
trunk 
version from svn (__version__ = "4.2-pre-" + "$Revision$"[11:14] + "-svn")

I too was having a this problem with a wordpress feed
(http://sustainablepursuits.wordpress.com/feed/) and checking out the latest 
SVN did
the trick.

Nice work everyone :-)
