On "Read It Later": Republishing is Theft

@Harold Harldrotta Yeah, ads suck, but how do you expect content creators to get paid? Would you be willing to pay a subscription at a rate high enough to replace ads?

And granted, I use these services so I don't have to see ads, but I know that means less ad revenue which is a bad thing for writers.

On "Read It Later": Republishing is Theft

This is an interesting article, but how is this different than an RSS feed? I love the awl and read it through RSS. The Awl publishes it's entire content onto RSS so I get to read just the text without ads.

So why does the Awl not truncate it's RSS feed to force readers to read the content on the page.

That said, I completely understand how this is basically stealing content.

On Sarah Palin's "Planet Earth" and the End Times

Maud, you're my favorite.

The Late Great Planet Earth was the first book I bought as a young Pentecostal. I actually bought two, one for me and one for my cousin to read with me.

On Old Christian Videos: Amy Grant's "Lead Me On"

This piece made me a bit teary. It made me remember that idealistic 12 year old that listened to Amy Grant and still believed the Church, and especially the Charismatic Church, was the answer to all the world's hurts.

Thanks for sharing.
