This morning I saw these strange strings (!$title$! & $!text$!) in the RSS feeds of popular sites like TechCrunch and Inside CBC.
Just a wild guess but I think this bug is somewhere related to the iPhone App for WordPress that was also released yesterday.
It’s almost impossible to search these errors on Google because it ignores characters like ! or $ in the search query but here are some more instances from FeedDemon.

Yes, it is because of the Wordpress app. Not just RSS, it even tweeted the same strings if you had the twitter plugin on your blog.
