The first thing I spotted was that full domains weren't showing next to the links, so for example, story 3 is currently: Hosni Mubarak has resigned (co.uk) Showing just the last two sections of the domain is clearly unexpected behaviour. :) The intention is clearly "TLD plus one more section", but not all TLDs are as short as ".com".
