Long before everyone had a web site, the two ways you read the news on-line was Usenet newsgroups or mailing lists. The newsgroups were, and still are, pull media. Mailing lists are push. If you are reading this, you are using pull media. That is, you had to come here and ask for what you wanted to read.

Generally, pull is what I want. That is, I want to go out and get what I am looking for rather than having it rammed down my throat. But I have had people telling me that they want push. That is, they want something in their email rather than having to seek out the information. Now, RSS feeds/RSS readers should solve this but much like the blinking 12:00 on VCRs, all to many people have no clue how to use an RSS reader.

Now, here, I will continue to babble about things. Having a site (with an RSS feed) that people could read makes sense to me but maybe the world would rather have my words stuffed down their, um, email.

Updating the buzzwords, that means would people rather read a website or subscribe to a newsletter?
