Spring Info RSS missing tags

I just noticed that when the rss is rendered (http://www.springinfo.info/feed/), springinfo does not include the tag that identifies the source of the data... which is causing the notes being pulled by the facebook page (which subscribes to the springinfo rss feed) to sometimes look out of place.

It's because of the syndication, it pulls those names directly from the original source. Unfortunately I can't really do much about it. However if you actually look at the news page you can see easily where it came from a la:
1.26 release.

Well that explains it... the problem is that the facebook page pulls from the RSS feed...

Well the problem also stems from the fact that most people when they post stuff on various sources don't bother to tag their posts. I do have an autotagger on springinfo that grabs from various sources to pull intelligent tags, but due to the way that pulling from rss feeds works it's not perfect. You can start blaming places that provide crap rss feeds (like moddb).
