Enthusiasts have been prophesying a new era of media, one founded on the principles of participatory journalism otherwise known as Web logging or blogging. Citizens and witnesses commit journalism online in the form of personal observation and personal interest, publish to a website and invite members of their community to comment on their stories. Dale Peskin wrote eloquently about it an earlier NewsFuture essay here.
But putting publishing tools in the hands of the people is one thing. Delivering it to their doorstep or desktop is the next frontier.
That's where RSS comes in.
Some even suggest that capitalism needs wars, that without them, recession would always lurk on the horizon. Today, we know that this is nonsense. The 1990s boom showed that peace is economically far better than war. The Gulf war of 1991 demonstrated that wars can actually be bad for an economy.
Nowadays, most publishers of comics-as-literature no longer bother to place mature-readers advisories on their wares; the lack of monsters, gun-crazed vigilantes and impossibly-inflated bimbos on the cover turned out to have been a far better way to distinguish Us from Them in the long run, and the labels have largely been left to Vertigo, EROS and superhero comics where they say "fuck" to appeal to the college kids (well, try to, anyway). The last time the advisory-warning argument flared up was when Marvel left the Comics Code, and that was barely an argument at all. Labels are either for the books struggling to convince people that the work under them isn't what it looks like, or (in the case of porn) that it's exactly what it appears to be.
