Interesting -- on the same day that Adam Curry mentions that he paid $10,000 to (I presume) Userland for favourable placement in the default list of rss feeds in Radio Userland, John Robb resigns from UserLand (and has his weblog go black). I doubt the two are related but it makes one wonder - all the turmoil certainly needs some explanation. I hope Dave Winer sheds some light on both issues this week.
Well I have no problem with Adam Curry paying for placement, I wonder why there wasn't more disclosure(or was there that I am not aware of?) and also wonder which other feeds have paid for placement.
