Hey, are you monetizing my comment content? I haven’t seen that before. THAT is interesting. I’m not sure I like it. So, Xanax, Viagra and Penis Enlargement to you. ;-)

Absolutely, right, Jeneane — at the point Ze is clogging your feed rather than being a valuable part of your day, you’re a lot less valuable. I think the engaged reader metric I just described would capture that — you wouldn’t be likely to be repeat reader, or recommend the feed to your friends, in that circumstance.

I shouldn’t have been so cryptic. What I was trying to say is that RocketBoom isn’t likeable, and its mighty claims are not believable.

If I subscribe to Ze Frank in my feed reader or on my video ipod — however all that fancy stuff works — and I am claimed as “traffic” or an “eyeball”, and then one day Ze Frank gets kicked off the show and Joanne Frank starts doing the show, maybe I don’t give enough of a shit about Joanne Frank’s show anymore to even bother CHANGING my default. That doesn’t mean I am an active viewer. That means I’m a passive lazy downloader of something I don’t really care about. How valuable am I?

The technology does change the metric, I think, because we are allowed to be both passive and participatory at the same time. Or at least claimed as such. It’s downright freaky.
