Excuse me for being technical, but that's not free content: The user pays for the content by accepting the advertising that comes with it. And Calancanis gets paid by the advertiser. And it's common knowledge that only very few disgruntled customers complain, most of them just quietly go shopping somewhere else. “Why should he give away free content without return!”

Mr RSS, Rok Hrastnik, says advertising is not in the DNA of RSS. You've mentioned Dave Winer. But full feeds do reduce your page views substantially. A lot of new technology does that too, like Ajax, as Jason has also mentioned. What's that about the customer (user) is always right? I’m still sitting the fence on this one.

The point I was making is the name calling without disclosing who it was, when we all really know who it's most likely aimed at. I'm not getting into an argument about name calling today, but again, I'm on Calcanis' side on RSS advertising. Why should he give away free content without return! Elliot

Even though you just present the "facts," there's a not quite subtle hint of disapproval in your post. You should cheer him on!
