How to bring back the subscription business model for news?
jacquesm: I must have missed the advertising on HN somehow that caused you to include the site in that list up there.RSS is going to be mostly machine to machine, much to my regret because I was an angel investor in a startup that was focusing on RSS 'smarts'. Quite possibly their tech can be adopted to the new world order, I doubt it will ever see very large adoption by end users.So, as I said in some other thread here somewhere, the one who manages to 'crack' the business case for an online website that can send out real reporters to do real reporting and that is not too beholden to advertisers will make it big.They'll do to news what google has done for search, and one day they might buy up a network or two for old times sake.But right now I don't think anybody even has an inkling of how to go about that. In Europe newspapers are merging in order to be able to survive, that can only go on so long.
