Getting what you deserve and RSS

Phil Gomes points to a story from the New York Daily News that reports Jayson Blair’s book has only sold around 1,400 copies.  Hurrah the purchasing public is getting sense!

Phil is also quoted in an article in eContent Magazine on how RSS can reduce information overload.

Gomes says, “RSS is incorruptibly opt-in. No one can force an RSS feed down my throat. I’ll simply unsubscribe.” The RSS model puts the subscriber in complete control of the subscription process. You only subscribe to the feeds you want, then you can unsubscribe by simply deleting the feed in your news aggregator.
