RSS & freedom of the press
Jeff Jarvis: Hoder, the pioneering Iranian blogger, has an interesting idea: using RSS with peer-to-peer distribution to get around government censorship. One of his comments points out that this is what Freenet is intended to do. The difference, I imagine, is that using RSS allows any weblog to be published or read as is, around censors.

I'm Not Doing the Ad Thing Screw InfoWorld. I just unsubscribed from their RSS feeds.

(...)

Publishers take note: You will not pollute my aggregator and remain on my source list. There is a boundary of decorum you should not cross. When I see an interesting article I will go to your site and read it, seeing your ads. It is sufficient that you do not put the full text of your articles into the RSS feed. That will draw me to the site and the ads if I choose to read it.

To subject me to a litany of ads to read your headlines and single-sentence intro is absurd. I refuse to participate. F**k You Very Much. Strong letter to follow. [b.cognosco]

Yep, as inevitable as advertising in RSS may be... there is a limit.
